Superior ectopic thoracic kidney.

K Fouda-Neel1, S Ahmed, A Al-Bassam, A Al-Rabeeah.   

Abstract

A 9-month-old boy with a respiratory tract infection was found to have a mass in the left chest posteriorly. This proved to be a superior ectopic thoracic kidney, which was easily identifiable on ultrasonography. The case is reported to stress the importance of recognizing thoracic kidneys in order to avoid unnecessary invasive investigations and/or thoracotomy.
