Thoracic ectopic kidney is a rare developmental anomaly that is the least frequent one among all forms of ectopic kidneys. The condition is generally asymptomatic. If a kidney image is missing on one side in renalor pelvic region in sonographic examination, the possibility of thoracic ectopic kidney should be taken into consideration. For final diagnosis, chest radiography and thorax computerised tomography should be obtained. We herein report a rare case of intra-thoracic kidney accompanied by diaphragm eventration.
胸内异位肾是一种罕见的发育异常，是所有异位肾类型中最不常见的一种。这种情况通常无症状。如果在超声检查中肾区或盆腔区域一侧未发现肾脏影像，应考虑胸内异位肾的可能性。为明确诊断，应进行胸部X线检查和胸部计算机断层扫描。我们在此报告一例罕见的胸内肾伴膈膨出病例。
