Urinary system anomalies are cases that can be encountered in the clinic. In the anatomy laboratory, we observed that a different vessel was separated from the aortic bifurcation during routine dissection. As a result of the vascular follow-up, we determined that the male cadaver had a pelvic localized ectopic kidney. As a result of the vascularization, we found that there is an ectopic kidney with pelvic location in the male cadaver. One of the most common forms of congenital renal ectopia is pelvic localized ectopic kidney. When the dissection was detailed, the right undescended testicle accompanying the right ectopic kidney was detected. In conclusion we are of the opinion that knowing such anomalies and variations will guide physicians before surgical procedures.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and an important cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, there is still a lack of effective prevention and treatment strategies in clinical practice. As a metabolic disease, DN is accompanied by renal ectopic lipid deposition, and the deposited lipids further aggravate kidney injury.

Müllerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDA) are a rare condition, occurring in 5.5% of female newborns. One of the most complex malformations is represented by Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomalies (OHVIRA) syndrome, also known as Herlyn -Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome.

This case series elucidates renal cell carcinoma characterized by three distinct presentations, necessitating individualized treatment strategies tailored to each specific circumstance. The three cases presented pertain to clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The first case involves a 44-year-old male patient with renal cell carcinoma in an ectopic kidney, an exceedingly rare occurrence with limited literature.

Introduction: The rarest form of renal ectopia, the thoracic kidney, has been documented in only about 200 cases worldwide. There are four recognized causes of congenital thoracic renal ectopia: renal ectopia with an intact diaphragm, diaphragmatic eventration, diaphragmatic hernia, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. This condition often presents as an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients.

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.
