Abstract:
Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital renal dysplasia. It is often associated with various anatomical abnormalities, including renal vessel and ureter variability, which increase unpredictable surgical risks. This current report describes the case of a 42-year-old woman diagnosed as having cervical squamous cell carcinoma complicated by horseshoe kidney. She underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and lymph node dissection, including dissection of the pelvic, presacral and para-aortic lymph nodes. The surgery was challenging, but no serious complications occurred. Postoperative multi-slice computed tomography angiography confirmed the anatomical variation of the renal location, ureter and renal vessels. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of cervical carcinoma complicated with horseshoe kidney.
