Cake kidney, a rare congenital urogenital anomaly, is presented in a new case. This study adds to the scarce literature on cake kidney with single ureter drainage.

Area of Science:

Urology
Congenital Anomalies
Medical Case Reports

Background:

Cake kidney is a rare congenital malformation of the urogenital system.
Over 20 cases are documented in medical literature.
Typically, cake kidney involves drainage via two ureters.

Observation:

This report details an additional case of cake kidney.
The presented case exhibits drainage through a single ureter.
This specific variation is exceptionally rare, with only five prior reports.

Findings:

The study contributes a new instance to the limited documented cases of cake kidney.
It highlights the infrequent occurrence of cake kidney with single ureter drainage.
The anomaly can be identified across various age groups.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of cake kidney variations.
It underscores the importance of recognizing rare urogenital tract malformations.
Further research into the embryology and clinical management of such anomalies is warranted.
