Horseshoe kidney is the most common of all renal fusion anomalies, occurring in approximately 0.25% of the general population. Horseshoe kidney with only a single ureter is a rare anomaly. A 60-year-old man was admitted to hospital for routine health screening. His family history was negative for kidney diseases, and there was no abnormality in his physical examination. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an atypical horseshoe kidney with cysts and three-dimensional spiral CT reconstruction showed the presence of a single ureter. The patient has since been followed up for two years without any signs of clinical disease. We report a rare case of a patient with a horseshoe kidney with cysts and a single ureter that was diagnosed incidentally.
