| Popis: | Pelvic renal ectopia is a congenital anomaly secondary to poor renal migration to the lower back. Usually, these pathologies are of asymptomatic course, therefore its finding is usually fortuitous during radiological examinations for other causes or in work-up of the infrequent symptomatic cases characterized by the occurrence of recurrent infections or symptoms of obstructive uropathy. The objective of this report is to present a case of a 37-year-old female with the unusual manifestation of left pelvic renal ectopia. She was intervened for acute lithiasic cholecystitis, and radiologic techniques diagnosed left pelvic renal ectopia. An updated review of the literature is performed. Despite the anomaly, the patient's renal function tests were normal, so only cholecystectomy was performed without complications. |
