Kidney development is a complex process that begins during the fifth to ninth weeks of life. Different types of renal congenitalanomalies exist; however, they are rare and usually asymptomatic. Renal ectopia is a rare malformation that affects 0.01-0.05%of patients. Of all the locations, the most frequent is the pelvic (55%).
