Carcinoid tumors are common neoplasms developing in gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. They are rarely found in the kidney. To date, approximately 40 cases of primary renal carcinoid tumors have been reported, with less of a third of them occurring within a horseshoe kidney. These cases appear to have a better prognosis, even in the presence of distant metastases, compared to those arising in normal kidneys.
类癌瘤是发生于胃肠道和呼吸道的常见肿瘤。它们在肾脏中很少见。迄今为止,已报道了约40例原发性肾类癌瘤,其中不到三分之一发生在马蹄肾内。与发生于正常肾脏的类癌瘤相比,这些病例似乎预后更好,即使存在远处转移也是如此。
