Hydronephrosis due to Malrotationin a Pelvic Ectopic Kidney withVascular Anomalies

Abstract

A particular case of hydronephrosis in ectopic kidney due to a malrotation and vascular anomalies in a young girl is described. The patient was previously operated for ureteropelvic junction obstruction at the age of two. Clinic and radiographic and pathologic findings are discussed and the literature is reviewed.

Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Right Malrotated Kidney

“…In some cases of ectopic kidney, there is often a bizarre rotation of the kidney as in our case [8-10]. However, the malrotated kidney was located at a similar level to the contralateral kidney and was also located in the retroperitoneal space.…”

Ectopic liver and gallbladder in a cloned dog: Possible nonheritable anomaly

“…Several organs including the liver [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][15][16][17][18][19], gallbladder [5,17,19], pancreas [39], kidney [40], testis [41], and ovary [42] located in ectopic positions have been reported in humans. Because the aberrant tissue is often not accompanied by any clinical relevance [3,19,39], it has a low incidence rate and it is difficult to analyze the reason for its occurrence.…”

Kidney, Urinary Bladder, and Ureter

“…Cross-fused ectopic kidney is a congenital displacement of one kidney to the opposite side of the body, and is associated with an increased incidence of congenital and acquired anomalies (Collura et al 2004;Chung et al 2009). The causes of a crossed ectopic kidney are unclear; the autopsy incidence is one in 22,000.…”
