“…Various congenital anomalies with the urogenital system have been described. These are: multicystic dysplasia in a fused or unfused crossed kidney [12,13], ureterocoele, patent urachus [14] hydronephrosis, ectopic ureteric orifice, vesicoureteric reflux, vaginal agenesis [15], hypospadias etc. Pelviureteric junction obstruction, as in the current case, has also been noted.…”

The term is derived from the Greek words ek ("out") and topos ("place") and literally means "out of place." Ectopic kidney is a congenital defect where kidney is in unusual anatomical position. An ectopic kidney is often associated with an increased incidence of stone formation as a result of stasis caused by the altered geometry of urinary drainage [1]. Factors which interfere with development such as the ureteric bud not meeting with the nephrogenicblastema for normal nephrogenisis or metanephric maternal disease, may result in abnormal migration of the kidney resulting in renal ectopia [2, 3]. Diseases in ectopic kidney may present diagnostic problems and unwary surgeon may be tempted to remove it as an unexplained mass [4]. Abnormal position may result in atypical referred pain, misdiagnosed as Appendicitis or Pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Increase in renal transplants, vascular reconstruction and other urologic procedures require thorough knowledge of morphological variants of kidneys and their clinical significance. Here we present a case ectopic kidney noted at our hospital.

“…Pathogenesis of renal stone formation might be abnormal location of kidney, kinking of ureter, urinary stasis. 6,7 KUB and IVP showed good result in locating stones and it was easy to demarcate it comparing with pelvic bony landmarks.…”

Pyelolithotomy of simple right sided ectopic kidney with renal stone

Ectopic kidney (renal ectopia) is a kidney that is not located in its usual position. It has an incidence of approximately 0.11% in general population and incidence of pelvic kidney is 0.0005% and ectopic kidney with a renal stone is rarer finding with very few reported cases. Mostly patient are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally, many a time it only presents as a lump during abdominal examination, patient may come with urinary complaints such as urine blockage, infection or urinary stone. Here we report a case of ectopic kidney with renal calculi and X Ray KUB showed the presence of stone in the pelvis which was later confirmed for it to be in the kidney by ultrasonography, CTand IVP which was managed by open pyelolithotomy with DJ stent placement using midline incision.

“…Although the entire kidney is usually involved with cysts, the disease may be segmental, involving only one moiety of a duplex kidney, one-half of a horseshoe kidney, or a crossed fused ectopic kidney [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
