An ectopic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs when the kidney fails to ascend to its normal position. Often an ectopic kidney is asymptomatic and the kidney is an unexpected finding during organ recovery. The kidney described in this case report had normal function and could have been used for transplantation, if it had been recovered without 2 renal arteries being damaged because of anatomic variation. The renal vasculature in this type of abnormality usually ascends from the iliac vessels, and this variation in anatomy should be taken into consideration by the recovering surgeon during arterial cannulation for organ flushing.
异位肾是一种罕见的先天性异常，发生于肾脏未能上升至正常位置时。异位肾通常无症状，常在器官回收时意外发现。本病例报告中描述的肾脏功能正常，如果在回收时没有因解剖变异导致两条肾动脉受损，本可用于移植。此类异常情况下的肾血管通常从髂血管上升，回收外科医生在进行器官冲洗的动脉插管时应考虑到这种解剖变异。
