Crossed-fused renal ectopia: a case report

Crossed renal ectopia is one of the rarest urinary system anomalies. It is more often seen atautopsy than in clinical practice. Most cases of renal ectopia remain asymptomatic during aperson’s lifetime and are diagnosed incidentally. The identification of crossed fused renal ectopia is important for radiologists and surgeons, since it is a predisposing factor for obstruction, infection, and neoplasia of the urinary system. In this report, we discussed the crossed-fused renal ectopia found in cadaver of a woman aged approximately 60 years. The clinical significance and embryological background of the variation is described in detail (AU)
