Unfused Crossed Renal Ectopia with Ipsilateral Anorchia–A Rare Entity

| Summary: | The reported incidence of unfused crossed renal ectopia is 1 in 75,000 autopsies. A majority of such cases go unnoticed, as they remain
asymptomatic and are found incidentally at autopsy. We have presented such a case for its rarity, unusual presentation and association, and
have discussed it in light of the available literature. In this report, a 7–year–old boy was pre–operatively diagnosed as having left crossed
renal ectopia with a cryptorchid left testis. At surgery, we noticed an ectopic, hydronephrotic left kidney with an absent left testis. Left
Nephrectomy was performed, based on findings of a DTPA scan which was done. Post–operative course was uneventful. Histopathology
revealed chronic pyelonephritis without any evidence of dysplastic changes. |
