Background: renal veins are vessels that drain to kidney and generally in the classic texts are described as companions of renal arteries, with an inverse course. Objective: to characterize the common pattern and the anatomical variants of number, course and renal vein ending in the adult man. Method: a descriptive observational study was carried out with a sample of fifty kidney blocks in a universe constituted by four-hundred deceaseds to those were performed autopsy in the Legal Medicine Department at the University Hospital "Amalia Simoni" of Camagüey, between April 2005 and December 2006. Results: as far as number the unique renal vein and the retroarterial regular course in its beginning prevailed. The uniform ending of the renal vein was observed in the lateral face of the inferior vena cava. Conclusions: the unique renal vein, retroarterial in its beginning, with ending in the lateral face of the inferior vena cava constituted the common pattern. The main variants of the model include double renal veins, triple parallel and crossed ones, with pre or retroarterial course. A left kidney with circumaortic double renal vein was observed.
