Renal cell carcinoma in both moieties of crossed fused ectopia

Aust N Z J Surg. 1993 Aug;63(8):662-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1445-2197.1993.tb00483.x.

Abstract

Crossed fused renal ectopia is an uncommon condition and cases of malignant tumours in such anomalies are exceedingly rare. The first case where simultaneous involvement of both moieties and perirenal fat by tumour occurred is reported here. A comparison of the appearances of radiological investigations with the anatomical specimen is presented, as is a literature review of this topic.
