“…12,18 Sonographic findings include empty contralateral renal fossa, reniform structure extending from the left kidney to inferior and medial, an area of fusion that appears as a characteristic anterior and/or posterior notch toward the middle of the mentioned mass on its anteromedial border, various positions of the two collecting system, slightly dilated upper pyelocaliceal system and dysplasia. 19,20…”

This pictorial essay focuses on ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of fetal urogenital anomalies. Fetal urogenital malformations account for 30%–50% of all anomalies discovered during pregnancy or at birth. They are usually detected by fetal ultrasound exams. However, when ultrasound data on their characteristics is insufficient, MRI is the best option for detecting other associated anomalies. The prognosis highly depends on their type and whether they are associated with other fetal abnormalities.

During anatomical dissection of a female body donor at the Howard University College of Medicine, a rare renal anomaly was discovered. Detailed anatomical and histological analyses on this anomaly were compared to a normal kidney from another donor and previously published reports from a comprehensive literature review. Anatomical assessment confirmed the condition of pancake kidney, a rare form of completely fused, ectopic kidneys without an isthmus. Due to the lack of symptoms in patients with this condition and the limited number of published case reports, very little information is available regarding the anatomy, development, and histology of pancake kidneys, making it difficult to determine an accurate estimate of the number of individuals who are affected. In the case presented here, a single kidney was located in the pelvis, below the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta into the common iliac arteries. The histological analysis of the pancake kidney revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, dilated renal tubules, and increased interstitial fluid, all common characteristics of renal disease and not present in the normal kidney of the other donor. Future studies are needed to compare the histology of pancake kidneys and typical kidneys in order to help determine potential pathologies.
