This report details a rare case of a girl with both a duplex kidney system and intrathoracic renal ectopia. This combined condition is exceptionally uncommon, with this being the first documented instance in medical literature.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Renal ectopia, the abnormal positioning of a kidney, is a congenital anomaly.
  • Intrathoracic renal ectopia is a rare form, accounting for less than 5% of all renal ectopia cases.
  • Duplex kidney systems are relatively common congenital anomalies.

Observation:

  • A pediatric patient presented with a rare combination of anomalies.
  • The patient exhibited both a duplex kidney system and intrathoracic renal ectopia.
  • This specific dual anomaly has not been previously reported in the literature.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the extreme rarity of co-occurring duplex system and intrathoracic renal ectopia.
  • Diagnostic imaging was crucial in identifying both congenital abnormalities.

  • The presentation, diagnostic pathway, and management strategies were analyzed.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of rare genitourinary congenital anomalies.
    • It underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation in complex pediatric cases.
    • Further research may elucidate the embryological basis and clinical significance of this rare association.
