Intrathoracic Kidney with Diaphragmatic Eventration: A Case Report

Intrathoracic ectopic kidney is the rarest form of ectopic kidneys. Intrathoracic kidneys do not seem to be associated with an increased risk of complications, such as renal stone formation, infection, or reduced renal function, and most cases are asymptomatic. It should be kept in mind when renal tissue cannot be observed in the renal fossa or pelvic area in ultrasonography. Asymptomatic cases with eventration usually do not require any surgical intervention and follow-up is appropriate. We aimed to present a case of an intrathoracic kidney with diaphragmatic eventration, diagnosed by imaging performed in a patient presenting with bilateral flank pain.
