Five cases of intrathoracic kidney are presented, and the literature is reviewed. The diagnosis was made incidentally in 3 patients who had chest radiographs because of upper respiratory tract infections and in 1 infant on a follow-up radiograph after recovery from hyaline membrane disease. The fifth patient had an abdominal mass. All 5 patients had a left intrathoracic kidney, and 2 had a left Bochdalek hernia. An intrathoracic kidney should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a posterior mediastinal mass.
本文报告了5例胸内肾病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。3例患者因上呼吸道感染进行胸部X线检查时偶然确诊，1例婴儿在从透明膜病康复后的随访X线检查中确诊。第5例患者有腹部肿块。所有5例患者均为左胸内肾，2例伴有左侧Bochdalek疝。在鉴别诊断后纵隔肿块时应考虑胸内肾。
