Summary: | Crossed renal ectopia (CRE) occurs when one kidney crosses the midline from the primary side to the contralateral side while the ureter remains on the primary side. Rectal cancer, one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract, refers to cancer from the dentate line to the rectosigmoid junction. The concurrent presentation of CRE alongside rectal cancer is an uncommon clinical observation.
Herein, we report a 69-year-old male patient with rectal cancer who was diagnosed with CRE
computed tomography during hospitalization. Following thorough preoperative evaluations, the patient underwent Dixon surgery.
We performed laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer and adequate lymph node removal in a patient with CRE with no postoperative discomfort. |
