Laparoscopic nephrectomy for a girl with giant hydronephrosis of a horseshoe kidney

We report our experience of laparoscopic nephrectomy on a girl with giant hydronephrosis of a horseshoe kidney. An 8-year-old girl presented with a 4-month history of right abdominal pain. We performed laparoscopic nephrectomy for the non-functioning moiety of a horseshoe kidney secondary to uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. Laparoscopic nephrectomy is a feasible and safe method with good indications especially for children with a horseshoe kidney disease.     

A case of renal squamous cell carcinoma associated with giant hydronephrosis and ureteral stone: efficacy of imaging modality]

A rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the right kidney associated with giant hydronephrosis and right ureteral stone was reported. A 60-year-old woman was referred to our department with a complaint of ileocecal dull pain. A plain computerized tomogram (CT) revealed giant hydronephrosis, and a kidney-ureter-bladder X-ray revealed a right lower ureteral stone. A right percutaneous nephrostomy was done and antegrade pyelography revealed giant hydronephrosis and a ureteral stone, but showed no intrapelvic filling defect. Under the diagnosis of right ureteral stone with hydronephrosis, right ureterolithotomy was done. However, since the inflammation did not subside after ureterolithotomy, right nephrectomy was done. The surgically removed right kidney did not show any evident tumor mass, a histological study revealed squamous cell carcinoma involving renal parenchyma. The patient received no adjuvant therapy and died 3 months after nephrectomy with sudden appearance of bone, liver and pulmonary metastases. The preoperative efficacy of imaging modalities for renal squamous cell carcinoma was discussed herein.     

Erythrocytosis related with hydronephrosis in a horseshoe kidney

We report a case of a man with erythrocytosis secondary to hydronephrosis in a right horseshoe kidney. The patient had an advanced hydronephrosis because of ureteropelvic junction obstruction occupying the right hemiabdomen. Following nephrectomy of the right kidney erythrocyte count returned to normal values. Secondary polyglobulia may be due to increased erythropoietine values and has been related in some patients with renal diseases such as hydronephrosis, but very rarely in association with hydronephrotic horseshoe kidney.     

Horseshoe kidney with simultaneous occurrence of calculi,transitional cell and squamous cell carcinoma

The simultaneous occurrence of invasive renal pelvic carcinoma with hydronephrosis and multiple calculi was noted after resection of the involved left renal unit of a horseshoe kidney. A perirenal lymph node submitted with the specimen was also involved necessitating a “second look” with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and removal of left lower ureter and cuff of the bladder, all of which were benign. The increased incidence of renal pelvic tumors with horseshoe kidneys is discussed. While the occurrence of adenocarcinoma in a horseshoe kidney appears to be no higher than in nonfused kidneys, the incidence of transitional cell carcinoma among horseshoe tumors is higher (24% vs. 7.7% in nonfused kidneys).     

Evaluation of cases where the right kidney is higher than the left kidney

BACKGROUND: Finding the right kidney higher than the left kidney on excretory urography (EXU) is unusual. In the present study, the position of the kidneys was evaluated in patients, and the frequency, causes or attribution were investigated. METHODS: Kidney positions were evaluated in 1625 patients. Subsequent evaluations by computed tomography scan were performed for each case where the right kidney was higher than the left. If a patient had right hydronephrosis, bladder evaluations such as ultrasonography and/or cystoscopy were also conducted. Patients with a left contracted kidney were excluded. RESULTS: The right kidney was higher than the left in 81 (5%) of 1625 cases. In 30 cases (37%), the cause or attribution existed in the right urinary tract. Eleven of these cases were due to tumors or cysts in the right kidney, four were due to congenital anomalies, and 15 were due to hydronephrosis. In 10 (12.3%) of the cases, the cause or attribution existed in the left urinary tract. All of them were cysts or tumors of the left kidney. Of the other 13 (16.0%) cases, eight were caused by hepatatrophy and splenomegaly as a result of liver cirrhosis, two were caused by aortic aneurysm, one was caused by visceral inversion, one was caused by a right ovarian tumor, and one was caused by pneumonectomy. Malignancies, including two renal cell carcinomas and three bladder cancers at the right ureteral orifice, were found in five cases (6%). CONCLUSION: The above results suggest that the right kidney is higher than the left in five percent of all cases undergoing EXU. In cases where the right kidney is higher than the left, and a left contracted kidney cannot be found, further evaluation is recommend.     

Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with giant hydronephrosis

We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of renal pelvis associated with giant hydronephrosis. A 71-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal fullness due to the right giant hydronephrosis. Although the diagnosis of her hydronephrosis was made about 20 years ago at another hospital, it had been left untreated. Computed tomography showed the right hydronephrosis of 20 x 20 x 25 cm in diameter and no evidence of tumor or calculus in the right urinary tract. For relief of her complaint, right nephrectomy was performed. The fluid content was bloody and 4,200 ml in volume. Histological examination revealed a flat type squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. This is the 30th case of renal pelvic malignant tumor associated with giant hydronephrosis reported in Japan. The literature was reviewed and the management of giant hydronephrosis was discussed.     

A case of Bellini duct carcinoma with giant hydronephrosis

We report a case of Bellini duct carcinoma with giant hydronephrosis. A 56-year-old man was referred with the chief complaint of gross hematuria. The intravenous pyelography showed a huge right renal contour and non-functioning kidney. The abdominal computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated giant hydronephrosis. Percutaneous urinary cytology obtained in the direct pyelography was class V. Right total nephro-ureterectomy was performed. Punctured fluid volume was 1,010 ml during the operation. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed the collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney. Three months later, multiple bone metastases had appeared. He was treated by the combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine and paclitaxel, but lung and liver metastases developed. The patient died of cancer 12 months later. This case was considered to be Bellini's duct carcinoma as its features had poor prognosis and image findings infiltrating from medulla to cortex with the total enlargement of the kidney. To our knowledge there has been no case found like these atypical imaging findings.     

Giant renal calculus in a horseshoe kidney presenting as an abdominal lump

We report a case of giant renal calculus of 14 × 10.5 × 9 cm in size and weighing 790 g, in a horseshoe kidney, along with two large calculi on the opposite side. Patient presented with unusual complaint of an abdominal lump only. Physical examination revealed a stony hard mass on the left side of the abdomen, extending from the subcostal region to just above the iliac crest. A giant renal calculus on the left and two large calculi on the right side of a horseshoe kidney were diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) scan. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, followed after 5 days by open pyelolithotomy was done for the stones on the right and left side, respectively. Analysis revealed a calcium phosphate stone. This case is worth reporting as it was not only the 8th heaviest renal stone reported in the English literature, but also the first giant stone to be reported in a horseshoe kidney.     

Giant hydronephrosis. Diagnostic aspect: report of a case

In this study, we have reported an unusual case of giant hydronephrosis of the right kidney diagnosed as a result of pain, and upon palpation the detection of an abdominal mass. An ultrasound examination also indicated the possible presence of a large abdominal liquid mass. The hydatic serology was negative. A complementary CT scan and retroperitoneal approach confirmed the diagnosis of a right giant hydronephrosis with a liquid content of 8 liters, caused by stricture at the pyeloureteral junction with destruction of the kidney. The liquid was drained off. Based on the findings in this case, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and investigation of giant hydronephrosis have been discussed. In the event of giant hydronephrosis with total destruction of the kidney following an anomaly at the pyeloureteral junction, nephrectomy has to be performed. In the presence of a retroperitoneal liquid mass and in the absence of other pathological signs, the diagnosis of a possible giant hydronephrosis should be taken into consideration.     

A case of giant hydronephrosis and a review of 324 cases in the literature

A case of giant hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction in an 18-year-old boy is reported. The patient had been told to undergo an operation for the left hydronephrosis at 2 years of age. However, he stayed away from hospital until he presented at our clinic with nausea caused by a large abdominal mass. Radiological evaluation revealed a left giant hydronephrosis with no function and slight compensatory hypertrophy in the right kidney. Left nephrectomy was performed and the pelvic capacity was approximately 7,700 ml. Histopathological examination showed muscular hyperplasia at the ureteropelvic junction. The term giant hydronephrosis may be defined as a hydronephrosis the contents of which are greater than 1,000 ml. Three hundred twenty four cases of giant hydronephrosis in the literature are reviewed and the age, sex, side involved, pelvic capacity, etiology, and relation to hypertension are discussed.
