For most people, a horseshoe kidney won’t affect life expectancy. But you may be at a higher risk of developing kidney (renal) cancer. In the U.S., healthcare providers diagnose more than 62,000 people each year with kidney cancer. With early diagnosis and treatment, the 5-year survival rate for kidney cancer is 77%. How common is horseshoe ...

2012年9月6日 · Patients with horseshoe kidney typically present with symptoms related to infection, stone formation, and hydronephrosis. Rarely, patients may present with malignancy of horseshoe kidney, and most of them arise from isthmus. We are presenting a case series of 2 cases of renal cell carcinoma arising from horseshoe kidney.

2019年7月1日 · Renal cell carcinoma with horseshoe kidney is rare disease and technically difficult to resect due to its malformations. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with horseshoe kidney treated by RAPN of retroperitoneal approach.

Surgical management of horseshoe kidney tumors is complex, but feasible through both open and minimally invasive surgery after meticulous presurgical planning. Rates of complications, positive surgical margins, and renal functional decrease were …

2019年5月2日 · Renal cell carcinoma with horseshoe kidney is rare disease and technically difficult to resect due to its malformations. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with horseshoe kidney treated by RAPN of retroperitoneal approach.

2023年5月2日 · HSKs are associated with problems such as renal stones, obstruction of uretero-pelvic junction causing stasis, and infection due to ectopic location of the kidneys, malrotation of the kidneys, and vascular changes. In general, normally developed kidneys have more incidents of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as compared to HSKs.

A horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common congenital renal fusion anomaly. HSKs are more likely than normal kidneys to have associated problems of stones, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, stasis and infection. However, they do not have an increased incidence of renal cell carcinoma when compare …

2019年8月30日 · Surgical approaches for tumor arising from HSKs are challenging because of the complicated vessel anatomy, poor mobility, and mass location. We report two patients diagnosed with tumors in HSKs who underwent retroperitoneoscopic partial- or heminephrectomy.

We report on 3 patients with tumor in a horseshoe kidney, 1 of whom had bilateral tumor (renal cell cancer on the right side and urothelial cancer on the left side). Tumors that arise predominantly in the bridge of a horseshoe kidney can mimic the symptoms of an intra-abdominal disease process.

The horseshoe kidney is a malformative pathology of the urinary tract that can be difficult to diagnose. The incidence of certain types of cancer seems to be increased by this anomaly (nephroblastoma and carcinoma). The main objective of this work is to report the experience of the radiotherapy department of the INO
