Abstract
Solitary crossed renal ectopia is a rare anomaly of the urinary tract. This anomaly is often diagnosed incidentally when patients are being evaluated for other associated findings including genitourinary, cardiovascular, hematological or vertebral abnormalities. We report a boy with solitary crossed renal ectopia that was considered a solitary normal positioning kidney by ultrasonography and dimercaptosuccinic acid scan. However, voiding cystourethrogram revealed vesicoureteral reflux and crossed ectopia. Therefore, in any normal appearing solitary kidney, crossed ectopia may be a possible finding.
