Abstract
REYNOSO-SALDANA, Donovan; JIMENES-GAMAS, Gregorio de Jesús; GUEVARA-PINZON, Andoni and GUILLEN-REVELES, Cristian Daniel. Crossed renal ectopy. Presentation of a clinical case at the Hospital Regional Tlalnepantla ISSEMYM, Estado de México. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.1, e06. Epub June 20, 2022.

Crossed renal ectopia is a rare congenital abnormality, where the ectopic kidney crosses the midline, and is located in a position contralateral to its normal position 1. It has a higher prevalence in men in relation to 2-3: 1to women 2, and it has a 3 times higher prevalence on the right side than on the left. Most of the cases are asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made when a pathology is established on the ectopic kidney, such as infections, lithiasis, tumors or other less frequent ones3. A case presentation of a 57-year-old male patient is made, in which the presence of the anatomical anomaly was incidentally discovered.
