[Partial thoracic renal ectopy (author's transl)].
Based on a case of his own the author surveys the literature of this rare condition. He discusses its clinical importance, the differential diagnosis from a lung shadow placed on the diaphragm and the distinction between congenital and posttraumatic displacement. An IVP will settle the diagnosis. Unless there are symptoms, operative correction is not needed.
