    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Horseshoe kidney is a congenital fusion anomaly of the kidneys.
    • Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder causing numerous cysts in the kidneys.
    • The simultaneous occurrence of horseshoe kidney and polycystic kidney disease is exceptionally rare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a novel case of polycystic horseshoe kidney.
    • To contribute to the scarce literature on this rare condition.
    • To enhance understanding of the embryological basis of renal anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report.
    • Review of patient's medical history and imaging.
    • Literature search for similar cases.

    Main Results:

    • A single case of polycystic horseshoe kidney was identified.
    • This represents the ninth reported case in medical literature.
    • The patient's clinical presentation and imaging findings were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Polycystic horseshoe kidney is an extremely rare congenital malformation.
    • Further case reports are needed to elucidate the pathogenesis and clinical spectrum.
    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare renal anomalies.
