Ectopic thoracic kidneys are the rarest form of renal ectopia. Moreover, congenital abnormality of a primary anterior inferior vena cava (IVC) located behind the anterior abdominal wall is extremely rare. To date, only one such case has been reported. Herein, we report a rare case of a 55-year-old Chinese male with bilateral thoracic kidneys combined with an anterior IVC, a malformed liver, and a large-round-folds navel. The classification, clinical characteristics, and management options of a thoracic kidney was also summarized by literature review. To our best knowledge, the simultaneous detection of such multiple complex abnormalities has not been reported.
异位胸段肾脏是肾异位中最罕见的形式。此外，位于前腹壁后方的原发性下腔静脉（IVC）先天性异常极为罕见。迄今为止，仅报道过1例此类病例。在此，我们报告1例罕见病例，一名55岁中国男性，患有双侧胸段肾脏，并伴有前位下腔静脉、肝脏畸形和大圆褶脐。我们还通过文献回顾总结了胸段肾脏的分类、临床特征及处理方法。据我们所知，同时检测到如此多复杂异常的情况尚未见报道。
