Thoracic ectopic kidney in an adult.
We are presenting an adult patient with a rare form of renal ectopy. Our patient had a thoracic kidney with complications. He presented with symptoms unrelated to the urinary system and his chest x-ray showed an intrathoracic mass presenting just above the diaphragm. An excretory urogram may be necessary for the diagnosis in such patients with similar chest x-ray findings.
