Crossed renal ectopia is a condition in which a kidney is located on the side opposite of its ureteral insertion. Ninety percent of crossed ectopic kidneys are fused to their ipsilateral uncrossed renal unit. Crossed renal ectopia without fusion is rare, with only 62 patients reported in the literature to date. These kidneys may suffer iatrogenic injury during an unrelated surgical intervention...

Freemartinism in a 3.5 months-old Holstein Friesian calf was investigated. External examination of the animal revealed the presence of two vulvar openings ventral to the anus. The urine is voided from the lower aperture. Transrectal palpation and ultrasonography revealed an ectopic left kidney in the caudal abdomen. At autopsy, an ectopic left kidney, right unilateral cryptorchidism, left testi...

background: failure in the development of diaphragm leaves a posterolateral defect known as bochdalek hernia .this anomaly is observed on the left side in 80-90 percent of the cases. incomplete development of the posterior diaphragm causes the abdominal viscera to move to the chest cavity, causing the lung to become hypoplastic at the affected side. ectopic kidneys are mainly located within the...

Pelvic ectopic kidney associated with giant hydronephrosis is rare. It may be responsible for an extrinsic compression of adjacent structures. The authors report a case of giant hydronephrosis on a left pelvic ectopic kidney caused by obstructive lithiasis in a patient of 25 years. First ultrasound guided percutaneous nephrostomy allowed urinary drainage. Definitive treatment consisted in nephr...

Congenital anomalies of the urinary tract system are common. The ectopic pelvic kidney is a rare anomaly about 1:2500 live births, left side being more common. Here we are reporting a case of left ectopic kidney with non rotation and morphologically normal right kidney. The case was found during routine dissection in the department of anatomy in an adult male cadaver. There were no other anomal...

We report two cases of male patients with pelvic ectopic kidney with large stones cleared with laparoscopic-assisted minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (Mini-PERC) and holmium laser. These are the first cases of Mini-PERC done for pelvic ectopic kidney reported thus far.

Renal pelvic ectopia has been estimated to occur in 1 of 2100 to 3000 autopsies. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a very rare phenomenon in an ectopic kidney. According to our review of literature, there are only seven reports of RCC occurrence in pelvic kidneys. We describe a patient with RCC of presacral ectopic kidney who underwent radical nephrectomy at our medical center.

An ectopic kidney is a common developmental anomaly of the urinary system. However, the thoracic kidney (TK) is the rarest state form of an aberrant kidney. The aim of this case report is defining the symptoms in TK diagnosis and constructing a treatment model will promote the best outcomes. These patients come to the physician with the various symptoms, and they could be diagnosed incidentally...
