ABSTRACT
Intrathoracic kidney is a very rare congenital anomaly in development of the kidney. It was firstly described by Mikulics in 1922. More than 130 cases were reported in the world. Most of the patients have no clinical problem and discovered incidentally in chest X-ray. We have experienced a case of intrathoracic kidney in a 48-year-old female who was admitted due to recurrent calculous cholecystitis. Intrathoracic mass lesion was noted in the plain chest film and confirmed as intrathoracic kidney by chest computed tomography and intravenous pyleography. We report a case of intrathorcic kidney with brief review of literature.
