Ectopic intrathoracic kidney is an extremely rare congenital disorder. It is generally asymptomatic, being discovered as incidental finding on a routine chest radiograph. Diagnosis is established by an intravenous pyelogram demonstrating an abnormally shaped excretory system with longer than usual ureters, which also helps to differentiate it from other posterior mediastinal tumors, such as neurogenic masses, including neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, neurofibroma, neuroenteric cysts, meningoceles and hernia of the foramen of Bochdalek.
胸腔内异位肾是一种极其罕见的先天性疾病。它通常无症状，多在常规胸部X线检查时偶然发现。通过静脉肾盂造影显示排泄系统形态异常且输尿管比正常情况长来确诊，这也有助于将其与其他后纵隔肿瘤区分开来，如神经源性肿块，包括神经母细胞瘤、神经节瘤、神经纤维瘤、神经肠囊肿、脑脊膜膨出和博赫dalek孔疝。
