Abstract
Intrathoracic kidneys are rare and are often only diagnosed incidentally. The literature on intrathoracic kidneys in children and adults is reviewed and discussed, focusing on diagnostic procedures and surgical therapy. Additionally, the case of a 35-year-old woman with a relapse of a left-sided intrathoracic kidney after pregnancy is reported. Diagnostic procedures and the surgical management are discussed.Entities:
