We describe a 23 months old boy who presented a clinical picture of bronchial hyperreactivity and a tumoral intrathoracic mass in a plain thorax X-ray, receiving for these reasons, antibiotic therapy during 30 days. Intravenous pyelography and ultrasonography revealed the presence of an ectopic intrathoracic kidney. Since this renal anomaly is usually asymptomatic and do not requires treatment, it is necessary to suspect this abnormality whenever an intrathoracic mass is found.
我们描述了一名23个月大的男孩，他表现出支气管高反应性的临床症状，胸部X线平片显示胸腔内有肿瘤性肿块，因此接受了30天的抗生素治疗。静脉肾盂造影和超声检查显示存在胸腔内异位肾。由于这种肾脏异常通常无症状且无需治疗，所以每当发现胸腔内肿块时，有必要怀疑这种异常情况。
