Supernumerary kidney is a rare anomaly. Not >100 cases have been reported. It was defined by Geisinger as the "free accessory organ," which is a distinct, encapsulated, large, or small parenchymatous mass topographically related to the usual kidney by a loose cellular attachment at most and often by no attachment at times. A 28-year-old woman presented with left lower abdomen pain. On evaluation, she was found to have left supernumerary kidney with renal pelvic stone 13 × 8 mm, which was placed below the native kidney. The ureter was merging with native kidney ureter just above the vesicoureteral junction. CT angiography revealed anomalous vessels supplying the supernumerary kidney. Patient underwent semirigid ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy and complete stone clearance was achieved. Double-J stent was removed after 2 weeks and on follow-up, there is no recurrence of stones. Supernumerary kidney is a rare congenital anomaly. Renal stone in supernumerary kidney presenting as lower abdomen pain is rarely reported. Imaging is essential to confirm the diagnosis and look for other associated anomalies. Ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy are suitable options in such cases possibly because of low-lying kidney and location of stone in renal pelvis. Other options are mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery.

Two unique presentations of renal anatomy were observed during routine cadaveric dissection. The first case presented with an ectopic malrotated left kidney supplied by supernumerary renal arteries. This kidney was drained by a circumaortic renal vein and an inferior polar vein.

Congenital anomalies are rare in veterinary medicine, and their aetiology, development, clinical presentation, and management remain poorly understood. This study documents a rare case of multiple congenital anomalies occurring simultaneously in a single individual. We present a comprehensive analysis of a 4-month-old mixed-breed puppy diagnosed with caudal duplication (monocephalus dipygus), integrating clinical, radiographic, ultrasonographic, cytogenetic findings, and surgical intervention.
