Abstract

The thoracic kidney is the rarest form of an ectopic kidney that usually present on the left thorax and twice more common in males.

We have included clinico-radiological and surgical findings of the case with a review of the literature. Keywords: Bochdalek hernia; ectopic kidney; thoracic kidney.
