“…Renal carcinoid tumors can cause either localized symptoms, such as hematuria, abdominal pain, or flank pain, or systemic symptoms (carcinoid syndrome) such as perspiration and diarrhea. However, cases without any symptoms, as our case, are reported [11] .…”

“…Because carcinoid tumors do not show endocrinologic symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose and predict the existence of these tumors by the results of blood tests [11] . Also, the image features of renal carcinoid tumors resemble in appearance typical tumors inside the kidney such as renal cell carcinoma [11] . So, Carcinoid tumors are generally diagnosed through pathological examination after surgery.…”

Primary carcinoid tumor of the kidney is a very rare entity (< 1%). About 90 cases have been reported in the literature. Carcinoid tumors appear over-represented in horseshoe kidneys compared with normal renal anatomy. Herein, we reported a 33-year-old male with primary renal carcinoid tumor arising from a horseshoe kidney. The tumor showed nests and trabeculea of uniformly polygonal cells separated by vascular stroma. The cells have fine uniform nuclei and scanty to moderate amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. No mitosis was seen. The tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin and neuroendocrine cell marker, synaptophysin, but negative for chromogranin A. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of primary renal carcinoid tumor arising from a horseshoe kidney in Egypt and the 19th in the literature.
