Unrotated left kidney associated with an accessory renal artery.
During routine dissection, a rare anomaly of the kidneys and their vessels was observed in a 55-y-old male cadaver. The anomaly consisted of an unrotated left kidney with partly extrarenal calyces and pelvis. In addition to its normal artery, the left kidney received a branch originating from the inferior end of the aorta.
