Renal carcinoid and horseshoe kidney: a frequent association of two rare entities--a case report and review of the literature

L R Bégin et al. J Surg Oncol. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

We report the case of a primary renal carcinoid tumor associated with a horseshoe malformation in a 43-year-old man who presented with testicular pain. The tumor was centrally located and purely solid and had features ascribed to hindgut neuroendocrine neoplasia. The relative risk of developing a carcinoid tumor in a horseshoe kidney is estimated to be x82.
