A rare malformation of urinary system: Right ectopic thoracic kidney.

ABSTRACT: An ectopic kidney is a common developmental anomaly of the urinary system. However, the thoracic kidney (TK) is the rarest state form of an aberrant kidney. The aim of this case report is defining the symptoms in TK diagnosis and constructing a treatment model will promote the best outcomes. These patients come to the physician with the various symptoms, and they could be diagnosed incidentally. In our case, we describe 40 years female patient with severe respiratory problems and upper back pain. In the pulmonary clinic, suspected mass was diagnosed with chest X-ray, and computerized tomography detected nontraumatic nonhernia associated, a truly ectopic TK. Moreover, the thoracic surgeon and urologist team decided to exploration and reconstructed the right ectopic kidney. The 1st month of the control of patient symptoms was disappeared. Overall, TK should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of thoracic tumors. Surgical exploration and reconstruction should be thought in patients who have severe respiratory symptoms.

Eventration of right diaphragm with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionCongenital diaphragmatic eventration is characterized by the elevation of the diaphragm, causing a protrusion of the intraabdominal viscera into the affected hemithorax and resulting in respiratory distress. Diaphragmatic eventration with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney is a very rare disorder with the incidence of 0.25% of all ectopias.Presentation of caseA 16-day-old male presented with chief complaint of respiratory distress. His plain chest X-ray showed intestinal gases in the right diaphragm and elevation of the right diaphragm. Intraoperative findings revealed elevation of the right diaphragmatic dome and visceral displacement, including the ileum, transverse colon, and right lobe of the liver. Subsequently, hemidiaphragm plication was conducted. Two weeks after surgery, the patient suffered from respiratory distress again. Computed tomography (CT) scanning revealed right diaphragmatic elevation and an ectopic kidney inside the right hemithorax. During the second operation, there were no longer elevation of the right diaphragmatic dome nor any other organ displacement. Moreover, we decided to let the intrathoracic kidney remain in place. The outcome was good during the postoperative period and six months after surgery.DiscussionEventration of diaphragm with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney should be considered as a differential diagnosis in neonate patients with respiratory distress accompanied by a thoracic mass.ConclusionCongenital diaphragmatic eventration with an intrathoracic ectopic kidney is a very rare disorder, requiring a personalized surgical repair to achieve a good outcome. CT scanning may help confirm the diagnosis, particularly to define the dome elevation and the intrathoracic organ precisely.

Ectopic right parietal pleural thymic carcinoma: a rare case and review of the literature.

Project description:Ectopic thymic carcinoma is extremely rare. We present a case of a 73-year-old male patient with ectopic right parietal pleural thymic carcinoma and performed a literature review. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest demonstrated a sharp-edged soft tissue mass with intense enhancement measuring 47 mm × 29 mm with a broader base adjacent to the right axillary chest wall at the level of the 5th rib. There was no hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy or evidence of a mediastinal tumor or pleural nodules. A totally extra-pleural tumor resection and partial right lung resection was performed. Histological examination demonstrated infiltrative growth typical of carcinoma cells with a nest-like distribution locally invading the surface of the lung tissue. Immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of thymic squamous carcinoma positive for CD5. Mediastinal radical radiotherapy (60 Gy) was performed postoperatively. The patient was followed for 17 months without any evidence of recurrence or metastasis.

Renal cell carcinoma in ectopic pelvic kidney: A rare case report with relevant surgical anatomy.

Project description:Renal Ectopia is a rare developmental anomaly, leading to failure of mature kidney to reach its normal location within the renal fossa. Most ectopic kidneys are asymphtomatic and gets diagnosed as incidental finding on radiography or at surgery. The incidence of RCC in ectopic kidney are very uncommon, presenting with atypical symptoms causes a diagnostic as well as therapeutic dilemma in front of urologists. We present a case of 65 years old gentleman, having complaints of hematuria having heterogeneously enhancing SOL in left pelvic ectopic kidney.

Perineal ectopic testis: A rare congenital anomaly.

Project description:Perineal ectopic testis is a rare condition seen in less than 1% of all cases of undescended testis. In this study, we diagnosed a perineal ectopic testis in a 7-month-old physical examination. A solitary, oval mass on the lower and lateral side of the palpation right hemiscrotum was identified and this mass was defined as the correct testicle at the ultrasound of scrotal. Orchiopexy was performed following herniography, and the scrotum was attached to the scrotum using the dartos pouch technique. We believe that orchidopexy is the preferred treatment of choice.

Apert Syndrome: Report of a rare congenital malformation.

Project description:A rare case of an adult male with malformation of the skull, face, hands and feet called acrocephalosyndactly or Apert syndrome is presented. Its probable cause, features and treatment is discussed. It is a unique case who survived upto the age of 32 years without any operative intervention and adjusted in the society though he has all the stigmas of the above syndrome. We have concluded and made a point that in the adult sufferer, facial deformity is not so important and urgent for the treatment than syndactyly, which handicaps the sufferer in performing the daily routine work.

A Rare Association of Congenital Asplenia with Jejunal Arteriovenous Malformation.

Project description:BACKGROUND Isolated congenital asplenia is a poorly understood and rare form of primary immunodeficiency, often associated with life-threatening infections. CASE REPORT We encountered a unique case of a 22-year-old asplenic male who presented with severe iron-deficiency anemia secondary to occult gastrointestinal bleeding since age 15. Our extensive work-up confirmed jejunal arteriovenous malformations as the source of the bleed. Six months after the treatment, the patient has reported no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding and his hemoglobin has remained stable. CONCLUSIONS A comprehensive literature review confirmed that this is the first reported case of adult congenital asplenia associated with arteriovenous malformation in the United States. The relationship of isolated congenital asplenia and arteriovenous malformation-associated bleeding remains unknown at this time; we postulate that this may be a congenital syndrome on its own. Obscure bleeding in the presence of rare anomalies such as asplenia should be investigated as one of the important causes of unexplained intestinal arteriovenous malformations.
