The thoracic cavity is the rarest location of all the renal ectopic sites. We report a rare case of an acquired thoracic kidney associated with a previous congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a child with nephrotic syndrome. Although only 13 cases of the thoracic kidney in the pediatric age group have been described in worldwide reports during the past 25 years, we present the first to be associated with a recurrent diaphragmatic hernia. The classification, differential diagnosis, and management options of this rare form of ectopia are discussed.
胸腔是所有肾脏异位部位中最罕见的位置。我们报告了一例罕见的获得性胸腔肾病例，该病例与一名肾病综合征患儿先前的先天性膈疝有关。尽管在过去 25 年的全球报告中，仅描述了 13 例儿科年龄组的胸腔肾病例，但我们首次报告了与复发性膈疝相关的病例。讨论了这种罕见异位形式的分类、鉴别诊断和治疗选择。
