[Ectopic thoracic kidney].
Abstract
We present a case of kidney ecthopy in a 62 years old male patient, discovered by chance during complementary explorations realized in the diagnostic process of an acute respiratory pathology. We review the literature related to this anomaly: 200 cases have been published to the date. The thoracic kidney is a rare kind of kidney ecthopy, tipically without synomathology & it requires no treatment.
