Abstrakt:	Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) constitutes a rare congenital anomaly of the urinary tract, typically characterized by its predominantly asymptomatic nature and frequent incidental discovery. This case report delineates the clinical profile of a 56-year-old male admitted to our Prostate Cancer Outpatient Clinic due to elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The patient was asymptomatic, with no family or surgical background. Notably, a fused ectopic kidney was incidentally identified during the staging process involving abdominal computed tomography (ACT) scanning. Remarkably, no additional abnormalities of the urinary tract or renal dysfunction manifested in this specific case. The significance of this report lies in the underscored emphasis on the importance of employing precise imaging techniques and tailored management strategies for patients harboring such anatomical variations.
