An unusual arterial supply of the kidney from the opposite renal artery.
We describe an extremely rare case with a supplementary artery arising from an opposite renal artery without renal anomalies in position and in form. An unusual artery crossing the aorta can be suggested by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. A renal cell carcinoma is supplied by the branch of the opposite renal artery.
