Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly and is associated with various complications, ranging from infections to neoplasms. While renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent renal neoplasm in adults, its occurrence in a horseshoe kidney is rare, and bilateral involvement is rarer. Furthermore, RCC metastasizing to organs is known and rare sites of metastasis are also documented. The report presents a unique case of bilateral RCC in a horseshoe kidney with synchronous metastasis to the gallbladder, pancreas, and duodenum. This presentation, involving metastasis to these specific organs, is exceedingly uncommon, making it a rarest of rare possibilities. The current case report underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring and comprehensive evaluation in patients with horseshoe kidneys, as they may be predisposed to unusual complications like RCC and rare site metastasis.
马蹄肾是最常见的肾脏融合异常,与从感染到肿瘤等各种并发症相关。虽然肾细胞癌(RCC)是成人中最常见的肾脏肿瘤,但其在马蹄肾中的发生很少见,双侧受累则更为罕见。此外,RCC转移至器官是已知的,并且罕见转移部位也有文献记载。该报告呈现了一例马蹄肾双侧RCC并同时转移至胆囊、胰腺和十二指肠的独特病例。这种涉及转移至这些特定器官的表现极其罕见,成为极为罕见的可能性。当前的病例报告强调了对马蹄肾患者进行密切监测和全面评估的重要性,因为他们可能易患如RCC和罕见部位转移等不寻常的并发症。
