Abstract

A 71-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a 10.0 cm tumor in a horseshoe right kidney. Preoperative imaging studies showed the presence of a renal isthmus located posterior to the vena cava, anterior to the aorta and the presence of an accessory vena cava on the left. The nephrectomy was performed by video laparoscopy and the anatomopathological study of the piece showed the presence of a renal oncocytoma. Preoperative imaging study is essential in the adequate treatment of these patients, making the minimally invasive route a safe alternative for these cases.
