Abstract:
We describe a 22-year-old patient with Klinefelter's syndrome associated with unilateral renal aplasia.

The present abnormality may be a co-existing entity or previously unrecognized abnormality associated with Klinefelter's syndrome since there is not reported systematic screening for urinary tract abnormalities in patients with Klinefelter's syndrome in the literature.
