This report details a rare case of crossed renal ectopia with fusion in a 38-year-old man, presenting with urinary symptoms. Surgical intervention involved ureterectomy and vesiculeotomy, with transitional epithelium found within the duct.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Crossed renal ectopia, a rare congenital anomaly, involves the displacement of a kidney to the contralateral side of the abdomen.
  • Fusion of the ectopic kidney with the native kidney can occur, leading to unique anatomical presentations such as an inverted L-shaped kidney.
  • Ectopic ureteral openings are associated anomalies that can cause significant clinical symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 38-year-old male presented with symptoms including lower abdominal pain, urinary frequency, and dysuria.
  • Imaging revealed crossed renal ectopia with fusion, forming an inverted L-shaped kidney.
  • The right ureter was found to have an ectopic opening into the seminal vesicle.

Findings:

  • Surgical management included ureterectomy and vesiculeotomy on the right side.

  • Histological examination of the ectopic duct revealed transitional epithelium.
  • This represents the 11th reported case of this specific anomaly in Japan.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the diverse clinical presentations of crossed renal ectopia and associated ureteral anomalies.
    • Understanding these rare conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective surgical planning.
    • Further statistical studies on such anomalies can improve clinical guidelines and patient outcomes.
