Objectives: After studying the article entitled “A Horse-shoe Kidney With Solid Mass: A Case Report,” you will be able to:
Identify a horseshoe kidney (HSK) and blood supply to ensure timely intervention if necessary
Study sonographic findings of HSKs with an isthmus connection
Identify the common location for fusion of HSKs
HSKs are the most common congenital renal abnormality and typically occur due to: Congenital fusion of the upper poles Congenital fusion of the lower poles Malrotation of the kidneys Superior pole fusion
In HSK, the fusion less commonly occurs at the: Inferior poles Isthmus Superior poles None of the above
The most common types of renal cell carcinoma are: Papillary, transitional cell, chromophobe Clear cell, papillary, oncocytoma Clear cell, papillary, transitional cell Collecting duct, clear cell, transitional cell
Patients with which disease are most likely to develop clear cell renal carcinoma? von Hippel-Lindau disease Chronic kidney disease Polycystic kidney disease Acute renal failure
What percentage of patients diagnosed in the early stages is likely to have a good prognosis of renal cell carcinoma? 20% 30% 50% 100%
