We describe a 12-year-old girl with a retroperitoneal lymphatic malformation (LM) and horseshoe kidney. The imaging characteristics of the lesions are reported. Retroperitoneal LM coexisting with horseshoe kidney is extremely rare. We hypothesized that they might share the similar etiologic factors. Imaging examinations are helpful in the definition of the 2 lesions and the relationship between them, but no characteristic findings are available to diagnose retroperitoneal LM before surgery. Surgical excision is ideal to treat LM, and the prognosis is good. Although asymptomatic horseshoe kidney need not be treated, it is important for patients to receive regular follow-up because of the propensity for various complications.
我们描述了一例 12 岁女孩患有腹膜后淋巴管畸形（LM）和马蹄肾。报告了病变的影像学特征。腹膜后 LM 合并马蹄肾极为罕见。我们推测它们可能有相似的病因。影像学检查有助于明确这两种病变及其关系，但在手术前没有特征性发现可用于诊断腹膜后 LM。手术切除是治疗 LM 的理想方法，预后良好。虽然无症状的马蹄肾无需治疗，但由于容易发生各种并发症，患者定期随访非常重要。
