Abstract

A thoracic ectopic kidney is the rarest kind of ectopic kidney, occurring in one out of every 15,000 cases. This renal anomaly is frequently diagnosed incidentally. We report a case of a man who had a non-visualized left kidney and later found out to be having a left thoracic kidney associated with a left Bochdalek hernia.
