Abstract
To the Editor, Horse-shoe kidney is a renal fusion anomaly found in about 0.25% of the population. RCC comprises about 50% of tumors arising in the horse-shoe kidney, and occurs no more often than in general population. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma arising in a horse-shoe kidney in a 65-year-old man who presented with intermittent right flank discomfort for two months. There was no history of hematuria or fever, but a recent history of anorexia and weight loss. He was afebrile and physical examination revealed mild pallor and a palpable lump in his right flank, while the rest of the examination was unremarkable.
