Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is a rare congenital kidney anomaly, affecting approximately 1 in 700-1,000 births.
  • CFRE involves the fusion of both kidneys on one side of the body, with ureteral duplication and malpositioning.
  • Understanding the etiology and presentation of CFRE is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • This report presents a rare case of disk kidney, an uncommon variant of CFRE.
  • The patient diagnosed with disk kidney was an adult female.
  • Disk kidney is characterized by a solitary, fused renal mass with a horseshoe-shaped configuration.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and varied presentations of fused renal congenital anomalies.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of literature on fused renal anomalies, including etiologies and clinical manifestations, is provided.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging in identifying rare renal malformations.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare renal anomalies and their presentation in adulthood.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis of CFRE and its variants like disk kidney can prevent complications.
    • Further research into the genetic and developmental factors underlying CFRE may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
