Abstract: Intrathoracic kidney is a rare congenital abnormality with the lowest frequency among all renal ectopias. We report the case of a 22-year old asymptomatic female patient who came to our institution for an evaluation of an incidentally noted non visualization of right kidney on Ultrasonogram.

In this article, we discuss the relevant clinico radiological findings along with a review of the literature.
