Abstract
We report a case of right intrathoracic kidney associated with a complex somite malformation that comprised vertebral fusion and right intrathoracic supernumerary ribs. The interpretation of this association as a disease model of nature allows us to propose a unifying hypothesis on the pathogenesis of this form of renal dystopia.
