Abstract

A 66-year-old man with incidentally detected mass in the left kidney visited our hospital. Intravenous pyelogram, ultrasonogram, computerized tomography suggested a renal cell carcinoma in the left side of the horseshoe kidney. A left radical nephrectomy with division of the isthmus was performed. The pathological diagnosis revealed renal cell carcinoma consisting of clear cell type without invasion of the capsule or renal pelvis.
