Abstract
We report a case of left thoracic kidney that was identified after a detailed workup for a left thoracic mass that appeared on a routine chest roentgenogram of a young adult. Intravenous pyelography and angiography clearly identified this rare anomaly. Anatomical features and clinical implications of this condition are presented.
