The thoracic kidney is the rarest form of renal ectopia. Furthermore, it is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. It is seen as a mass in the posterior mediastinum or juxta-diaphragmatic on chest radiography. A computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging is usually needed for a definitive diagnosis. The thoracic kidney typically exits the retroperitoneal space through the foramen of Bochdalek.
胸内肾是肾异位最罕见的形式。此外，它通常无症状，多为偶然发现。在胸部X线片上，它表现为后纵隔或膈附近的肿块。通常需要计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像来明确诊断。胸内肾通常通过博赫达勒克孔离开腹膜后间隙。
