    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Mediastinal masses can present asymptomatically.
    • Intrathoracic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly.

    Observation:

    • A 43-year-old woman presented with an incidental posterior mediastinal mass on chest X-ray.
    • The mass was asymptomatic.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) suggested an intrathoracic kidney.
    • Intravenous urography confirmed the diagnosis of intrathoracic kidney.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the utility of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare conditions.
    • Early detection of intrathoracic kidney can prevent potential complications.
