“…No such anomalies were noted in our case. [9] Generally pelvic kidney may remain asymptomatic during the lifetime of the patient, but few may complain of local pain from dragging on the renal vessels by the weight of an organ or pain in the lower limb due to compromised blood supply to the lower limb caused by the fused renal mass resting on the aortic bifurcation and iliac vein formation. Incidental finding of this anomaly may warn us to look out for other associated congenital abnormalities but interestingly such cases warrant constant evaluation of the renal function to reduce the associated morbidity.…”

Complete renal fusion without crossed renal ectopia denotes the medial fusion of the renal parenchyma (with or without changes in the microarchitecture) in the pelvis with anteriorly placed short ureters terminating into the bladder. This could be due to the failure of renal analgen to ascent, lateral migration, axial rotation, and persistence of primitive vascular supply. Though remain asymptomatic such cases warrant concomitant congenital anomalies of other organ systems as well as the microarchitecture changes in the renal parenchyma.Keywords: Cake kidney; pelvic kidney; renal ectopia; renal mass.

Background: Kidneys are amongst the common sites of congenital abnormalities and anatomical variations. Congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) constitute approximately 20 to 30% of all anomalies identified in the prenatal period and a leading cause of renal failure in children. The common variations pertaining to kidney are polycystic kidney, unascended kidney, horseshoe kidney with fused upper or lower pole, atrophic kidney, lobulated kidney, malrotated kidney, bifid pelvis or ureter, most common being bifid pelvis and pancake kidney is a very rare variant.Materials and Methods: Fifty human adult cadavers were included in our study; observed and studied over a period of three years in the Department of Anatomy, Grant Govt. Medical College, Mumbai, during routine dissection.Results: In our study we found, 01.01% of renal agenesis, 01.01% of fused pelvic or pancake kidney, 01.01% of malrotated kidney, 02.02% of unascended kidneys, 05.05% hypoplastic or atrophic kidneys, 07.07% lobulated kidneys, 05.05% polycystic kidneys, 02.02% of bifid pelvis and 03.03% of triplicate pelvis. Embryological basis:The development of kidney begins at the fourth week of gestation; the failure of proper inductive interaction between the ureteric bud and the metanephric blastemal can lead to various congenital anomalies. Anomalies can result due to abnormal development, ascent, rotation and migration.Genetic basis: CAKUT are either sporadic, familial, syndromic or non-syndromic. Transcription factor 'WT1' produced by mesenchyme of the metanephric blastemal helps in epithelialization of ureteric bud. Congenital abnormality occurs when there is mutation of genes that regulates the expression of WT1. Conclusion:Renal anomalies are one of the commonest anomalies which may remain unnoticed till adulthood. The knowledge of anatomical variations of kidney and ureter is of utmost importance for surgical and uroradiological interventions. Hence an early detection and proper follow-up may be helpful in better management and increased survival rates.
