Crossed renal ectopia is one of the rarest urinary system anomalies. It is more often seen at autopsy than in clinical practice. Most cases of renal ectopia remain asymptomatic during a person’s lifetime and are diagnosed incidentally. The identification of crossed fused renal ectopia is important for radiologists and surgeons, since it is a predisposing factor for obstruction, infection, and neoplasia of the urinary system. In this report, we discussed the crossed-fused renal ectopia found in cadaver of a woman aged approximately 60 years. The clinical significance and embryological background of the variation is described in detail.
