Abstract:
Within renal aberrations, the most frequent one is the horseshoe kidney. Adenocarcinoma is the most common primary renal neoplasia. The association of tumour and horseshoe kidney is uncommon, with only 135 cases described in the literature. Presentation of 4 patients with tumours in horseshoe kidney: 3 adenocarcinoma and one urothelial tumour of renal pelvis. As a result of our experience we consider that arteriography is a key imaging technique for pre-operative study of these patients, medial laparotomy being the choice access for approach, and prognosis depending on tumour staging, with no influence from the malformation.
