RESUMO

Intrathoracic ectopic kidney is a rare congenital abnormality with a prevalence estimated as less than one in 10000 and with only thirteen cases reported in the pediatric age group over the past twenty-five years. Herein, we report the uncommon case of a 20 month-old-male exhibiting a left ectopic intrathoracic kidney diagnosed as an incidental finding in image studies. Uncomplicated incidentals diagnosis has demonstrated normal function and development of those kidneys in long-term follow-up with no late bowel herniation.
