Unlabelled: Supernumerary kidney (SK) is an uncommon anomaly of the urinary tract, usually occurring on the left side. A rare case of a partially-fused, SK on the right side is presented. The diagnosis is made through the identification of a distinct pelvicalyceal system along with its supplying renal artery and vein, utilising ultrasound, CT, or MRI.
Contribution: Correct diagnosis of partially-fused, supernumerary kidneys based on imaging is crucial to avoid unnecessary procedures, so that asymptomatic cases are managed conservatively.

A supernumerary kidney is an extremely rare congenital renal anomaly that is characterized by the presence of one or more extra kidneys. Unilateral cases occur more commonly on the left side. Reporting such uncommon anomalies is important for several reasons, such as improving diagnosis and treatment, educating clinicians and radiologists about the identification and treatment of supernumerary kidneys, and comparing the case to existing literature to highlight similarities and differences in presentation, management, or outcomes.
