| Abstract [eng] |
Congenital thoracic ectopic kidney is a rare developmental anomaly, with the thorax being the rarest and higher location of ectopic kidneys. This anomaly is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on routine chest radiography. At least 200 cases of thoracic kidney have been described, with the vast majority of mases documented in adults. We report a rare case of a 2-years-old child exhibiting ectopic intrathoracic kidney. We further discuss the current management of this pathology. |
