Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Renal ectopia, a congenital anomaly, presents diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Understanding its prevalence and associated conditions is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the clinical presentation and associated anomalies in patients with renal ectopia.
  • To identify the frequency of renal ectopia laterality and demographic distribution.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 46 patients diagnosed with renal ectopia over a 5.25-year period.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, clinical presentation, laterality, and associated anomalies.

Main Results:

  • The male to female ratio was 15:31, with ages ranging from 3.5 to 50 years.

  • Abdominal mass was the most common presentation.
  • Right kidney involvement (50%) was more frequent than left (28%) or bilateral (22%).
  • Frequent associated anomalies included malrotation, hydronephrosis, and fusion.
  • One patient developed neoplastic change.

    • Conclusions:

    • Renal ectopia frequently presents as an abdominal mass, particularly in the pediatric population.
    • Associated anomalies are common and require thorough investigation.
    • The findings underscore the importance of recognizing renal ectopia and its potential complications.
