Abstract

Horseshoe kidney is one of the most common congenital anomaly involving the kidney. However a malignant tumour involving the renal unit in a horseshoe kidney is rare, with only around 200 cases being reported in world literature. We present a case of renal cell carcinoma involving the right unit of the horseshoe kidney managed by radical nephrectomy along with isthumectomy
