Both anomalies presenting in one patient is a rare disease characterized by isthmus of horseshoe kidney between the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of horseshoe kidney with retrocaval ureter remain a challenge. Here, we reported a case of a 44-year-old man with the two anomalies who was preoperatively diagnosed by unenhanced computed tomography scanning immediately after retrograde pyelography. The literatures on such combined anomalies are reviewed and the diagnostic evaluation and surgical management of this rare entity are discussed.展开更多

In China, the first CRCC case was described by our hospital in 1998; there have since been only a few case reports of CRCC in China and very few instances of long-term follow-up. To our knowledge, there is little information available regarding the clinical outcomes of patients with CRCC. In order to analyze the clinical and pathologic characteristics of CRCC and the prognosis in Chinese patients, we reviewed retrospectively the clinical data from cases of CRCC treated recently in our hospital.展开更多
