An ectopic kidney is described as an abnormal localization of a kidney due to a developmental anomaly and it occurs as a result of a halt in the migration of the kidneys to their normal locations during the embryonic period. The asymptomatic, non-complicated cases are managed conservatively, but nephrectomy may be necessary if there are otherwise untreatable complications such as stones, infection, failure or trauma.
