Currarino syndrome is a hereditary disease with a low incidence, composed of a triad: anal stenosis, sacrococcygeal malformation and presacral mass. It can go unnoticed until adulthood and generate subdiagnoses. A 75-years-old male, black-skinned, urban origin patient with a history of arterial hypertension is described, who attended the hospital presenting hematuria, pain in the left lumbar fossa, and constipation. Radiological studies such as ultrasound, abdominal tomography and lumbosacral magnetic resonance were performed, which led to the diagnosis of a renal tumor, incomplete Currarino syndrome (given by two elements of the triad: sacrococcygeal malformation and presacral mass) associated with another spinal cord malformation disease, tethered cord. There are few cases reported in the world (almost 300), so it is considered a rare entity, but easy to diagnose due to new imaging technologies.
