Thirty-five patients with renal ectopia have been received. Forty-three per cent of the patients presented with a palpable lower abdominal mass, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal symptoms. In 37% of the cases it was an incidental finding at urography done for other conditions. The vagueness of symptomatology and findings in renal ectopia indicate that a high index of clinical suspicion is needed in its diagnosis with subsequent performance of excretory urography. Needless laparotomy, as undertaken in three children in the series, will, thus, have been avoided.
已收治35例肾异位患者。43%的患者表现为可触及的下腹部肿块、腹痛和胃肠道症状。37%的病例是在因其他疾病进行尿路造影时偶然发现的。肾异位症状和检查结果的不明确表明，在诊断时需要高度的临床怀疑，随后进行排泄性尿路造影。因此，本系列中有3名儿童所进行的不必要的剖腹手术得以避免。
