“…A supernumerary kidney can be distinguished from a duplex kidney by the presence of its own arterial and venous supply, pelvicalyceal system, and renal capsule. Supernumerary kidneys are more often located on the left than on the right side and may be partially fused [6][7][8]. Rare cases of supernumerary kidneys in conjunction with a horseshoe anomaly have also been reported [9][10][11].…”

Crossed fused renal ectopia and the presence of a supernumerary kidney are both rare congenital variants that are often asymptomatic but may be associated with other developmental anomalies. Here we present a case of a 20-year-old male with a known diagnosis of crossed fused renal ectopia as well as a history of imperforate anus and tethered spinal cord treated in infancy. He presented to the emergency room with symptoms of flank pain, and a noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 4-mm stone in the distal left ureter. CT scan also revealed that the patient's right kidney was not crossed and fused to the left kidney as previously believed, but rather it was crossed and fused to a supernumerary kidney abutting the inferomedial aspect of an orthotopic left kidney. This is a unique example of two rare coexisting renal anomalies not previously detected on a nuclear medicine renal scan and serial renal ultrasounds obtained earlier in the the patient's life.

“…Both poles of the malformed kidney were drained by a collective vascular supply and surrounded by a single continuous capsule with a fibrous band dividing the 2 poles. Given the fact of a common vascular supply, the most accurate term for the renal malformation in both cases might be a bilobed duplex kidney [18] [19].…”

A 5-month-old, male French bulldog was presented with a history of urinary incontinence. Abdominal ultrasound showed changes compatible with a ureterocele and a bilobed right kidney. Excretory computed tomographic urography was consistent with right-sided duplex kidney, ureter duplex and ectopic ureterocele. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first description of a duplex kidney with an ectopic ureterocele diagnosed with ultrasound and contrast enhanced computed tomography in a dog. After the imaging diagnosis, a neoureterocystostomy was performed. In the follow-up examination the dog presented with mild incontinence which was treated medically using phenylpropanolamine.

“…It can be separate from the normal kidneys or partially fused. Supernumerary kidneys are generally smaller and more frequently seen on the left side [ 1 ]. Although the duplex kidney is more common, a supernumerary kidney can be seen as a separate organ with its own vascular supply and collecting system as well as a distinct capsule.…”
