Most of the reported cases are asymptomatic. We present a male patient with intrathoracic kidney without diaphragmatic hernia. A 24-year-old man with fever, cough, and malaise complaints for the previous two days was admitted to a district hospital's pulmonary medicine department. The chest X-ray revealed that the right hemidiaphragm was elevated. For further evaluation, computerized tomography was performed and a right intrathoracic kidney was detected. Since the patient was otherwise healthy with a normal functioning intrathoracic kidney, no medical intervention was considered. Periodic follow-up was planned. Intrathoracic kidney may not cause any symptom and may function normally even though it has a very long distance from the bladder. Intrathoracic kidney should be kept in mind in the evaluation of diaphragmatic elevation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study diagnostic images Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
