Summary

A pelvic ectopic kidney was mistaken for an adnexal tumor in a young woman presenting with pelvic pain. This case highlights the importance of considering rare anatomical variations in gynecological diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Urology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Pelvic pain is a common gynecological complaint.
  • Adnexal masses require thorough investigation to rule out malignancy.
  • Ectopic kidneys are rare congenital anomalies.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old female presented with recurrent left iliac fossa pain.
  • Gynecological examination revealed a solid left adnexal mass.
  • Initial diagnosis suggested an adnexal tumor.

Findings:

  • Ultrasonography identified an ectopic kidney in pelvic presentation.
  • Urography confirmed the diagnosis of pelvic kidney.
  • The adnexal mass was determined to be the ectopic kidney.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of differential diagnosis in gynecological evaluations.
  • Imaging modalities like ultrasonography and urography are crucial for identifying anatomical variations.
  • Misdiagnosis can be avoided by considering uncommon presentations of congenital anomalies.
