Abstract

KUMARASWAMY, Nishanth Raavani et al. Incidentally detected right partially fused, malrotated, supernumerary kidney. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2025, vol.29, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2078-6778.  https://doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v29i1.3054.

Supernumerary kidney (SK) is an uncommon anomaly of the urinary tract, usually occurring on the left side. A rare case of a partially-fused, SK on the right side is presented. The diagnosis is made through the identification of a distinct pelvicalyceal system along with its supplying renal artery and vein, utilising ultrasound, CT, or MRI. CONTRIBUTION: Correct diagnosis of partially-fused, supernumerary kidneys based on imaging is crucial to avoid unnecessary procedures, so that asymptomatic cases are managed conservatively.

Keywords : supernumerary kidney; congenital anomalies; renal anomalies; genitourinary system; malrotated kidney.
