Abstract

Case: A 67-year-old male with hematuria and diagnosed to have a left iliac fossa malrotated ectopic kidney with enhancing renal pelvic mass; which on histopathological examination was noted to be high grade UTUC- pT3N1.

The treatment of this disease can be challenging due in part to its aberrant vascular morphology and due to its location.
