Abstract
|
|
|
|
The incidence of horseshoe kidney is about 1 in 400 cases. The presence of Wilms’ tumor with a horseshoe kidney is unusual, and the occurrence of Wilms’ tumor in a horseshoe kidney is estimated at 0.4 to 0.9% of all Wilms’ tumors. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with a stage IV Wilms’ tumor in a horseshoe kidney. The patient was treated with preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. This case illustrates the role of preoperative chemotherapy for preserving renal function and aims to highlight the multimodality treatment of Wilms’ tumor.
