title: [Critical considerations on a case of nephroblastoma in a horseshoe kidney].
abstract: In a review of the literature, the association nephroblastoma-horseshoe kidneys has been demonstrated in 34 patients. Radiologic signs of horseshoe kidney may be difficult to evaluate when a large mass is present. Treatment of Wilms' tumor in horseshoe kidneys does not differ, on principle, from that of Wilms' tumor occurring in the normally separated kidneys.
