Crossed fused renal ectopy in children with myelodysplasia.
The medical records of 151 patients with myelodysplasia ranging in age from 3 months to 22 years were reviewed to determine the incidence of crossed fused renal ectopy. Five patients (3.3%) were identified. This figure is considerably higher than the reported incidence of 1:200 (0.5%) to 1:7500 (0.013%) in the general population.
