Description

Isam Ahmed Abdeljaleel Taha and seven co-authors reported a rare birth defect case in two thousand twenty-four: a kidney found inside the chest of a baby. Such cases are very rare and often found by chance, since they may cause no signs. This child's case also involved a hidden extra piece of lung tissue.

The seven-month-old had repeated chest infections and poor growth since birth. Scans showed the right kidney in the chest and a likely extra lung lobe. Surgeons freed the lung, tied off the odd vessels, and the child recovered well after a brief lung infection. Follow-up showed full recovery with no problems.
