Abstract:
Congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract are the most common organ system anomalies. Ectopic kidney in pelvis is a kidney located outside the renal fossa, failed migration of ureteral bud and developing metanephric blastema to the renal fossa and rare fusion anomaly of the kidneys characterized by the presence of a displaced, lobulated pelvic renal mass. Herein we report a rare case of a patient presenting with single kidney in pelvis, review literatures and discuss prognosis of this case.
