Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is characterized by hypercortisolism due to the hypersecretion of a non-pituitary ACTH-secreting tumor leading to Cushing's syndrome. Only a few cases have been reported previously as causing ectopic ACTH related to paraganglioma. Herein, we present a case of Cushing's syndrome, in who was proved to be attributable to an ACTH-secreting renal m...

Renal and renovascular abnormalities constitute features of the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), one multisystem genetic disorder in childhood, caused by a microdeletion of chromosome 7. We report a 12 years old boy who was diagnosed with WBS and had an ectopic pelvic hypoplastic left kidney, detected by ultrasonography and renal scintigraphy. Dystopic hypoplastic kidney is an infrequent finding...

The migration of a kidney in postnatal life without any symptoms has not been reported in literature so far. Case Presentation. In a series of antenatal and the first postnatal ultrasound scans, the right kidney was normally located within the right renal fossa. During the first 3 mon...

Typically one kidney is located in the proximity of the other kidney, and the ureter of the anatomically anomalous kidney crosses the midline to insert to the bladder in its normal anatomic position. Although renal function is usually not affected, the condition is generally accompanied by other congenita...
