On antenatal ultrasound assessment, an apparently solitary hydronephrotic kidney was identified, confirmed on postnatal ultrasound examination. More detailed postnatal investigations revealed the diagnosis of crossed renal ectopia.

Background: In recent years, ectopic lymphoid tissue (ELT) has been increasingly confirmed as a new biomarker for kidney injury or inflammation. However, there is insufficient research on the relationship between ELT grading and the progression of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).
Methods: A total of 147 patients with biopsy-proven IMN in our institution from March 2020 to June 2022 were classified into five grades based on the different distribution of lymphocyte subsets in renal tissue (G0: no B cells or T cells, G1: scattered B and T cells, G2: clustered B and T cells, G3: an aggregation region of B and T cells without a central network, G4: highly organized and formed zones of B and T cells with a central network of follicular dendritic cells and scattered macrophages), and were further divided into low-grade group (G0+G1), intermediate-grade group (G2) and high-grade group (G3+G4).

Renal fusion anomalies are rare congenital malformations that comprise horseshoe kidney and crossed fused ectopia. Renal tumors arising from these fusion anomalies are anatomically complex, and surgical management can be technically challenging because of altered renal anatomy. Percutaneous CT-guided ablation can overcome some of these anatomical constraints, and microwave ablation has the additional benefit of shorter treatment time and reduced sensitivity to heat sink effects compared to other ablative modalities.

Article Synopsis
- - Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare kidney disorder more common in males, occurring in about 1 in 2000 to 1 in 7500 individuals found during autopsies.
- - A 34-year-old woman was assessed during her first-trimester screening, which showed a low risk of genetic disorders; however, further imaging suggested crossed fused renal ectopia, a diagnosis confirmed through later scans.
- - This case highlights that crossed fused renal ectopia can be diagnosed as early as the first trimester and the condition did not lead to complications for the mother or baby, who was born healthy via C-section at 36 weeks.
