[Splenomegaly and displacement of a remaining left kidney (author's transl)].
A case of displacement of remaining left kidney across the midline because of a big splenic enlargement due to chronic lymphoid leukemia is reported. As observed in the rare cases of the literature, this observation illustrates that the kidney returns to a normal position after disappearance of the splenomegaly, in this case after chemotherapy followed later by splenectomy.
