Intrathoracic kidney in an adult

Urol Int. 2001;66(3):174-5. doi: 10.1159/000056604.

Abstract

An intrathoracic kidney, although rare, should be considered in a patient with a mass at the base of the lung on a chest radiograph. Excretory urography is diagnostic and may eliminate the need for further extensive investigation and operation.
