AI Article Synopsis
- A 73-year-old man has a medical case involving crossed ectopia with only one kidney.
- His functioning kidney is in the correct position and properly supplied with blood, but there's an additional, non-functioning ureter on the same side.
- The text also explores how this uncommon condition develops during the embryonic stage.
Article Abstract
A case of crossed ectopia with a solitary kidney in a 73-year-old man is presented. The fact that the kidney is normally situated and vascularized, and the presence of a second blind homolateral ureter leads us to conclude that this is a case of crossed ureteral ectopia in a solitary kidney. The embryogenesis of the malformation is discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Neuropathologic entities, though rare, can affect the sinonasal tract through different mechanisms including embryological defects and ectopic tissue remnants.
- These entities may also arise from benign tumors that extend from the brain or nearby structures, such as pituitary adenomas and meningiomas.
- Additionally, high-grade intracranial tumors like glioblastomas can invade the sinonasal area, making it essential for surgical pathologists to include these in the differential diagnoses of unusual sinonasal lesions.

The gradually progressive solitary cystic-solid mass of chest CT scans is highly suggestive of lung cancer. We report a case of a 29-year-old woman with a persistent cystic-solid lesion in the right upper lobe. A chest CT scan showed a 35 mm × 44 mm × 51 mm focal cystic-solid mass in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe.

Article Synopsis
- An ocular osseous choristoma is a rare growth of mature bone found in the eye or surrounding tissue, representing just 1.7% of all epibulbar choristomas.
- The case study discusses a 20-month-old girl with a painless, firm mass at the left lateral canthus, which had been present since birth, and was diagnosed as an osseous choristoma after biopsy.
- The findings suggest that osseous choristomas should be included in the diagnosis of eyelid lesions present from birth and highlight the need for further research on their potential links to eye structures.
Rarely occurring at birth, crossed renal ectopia is an abnormality in which both kidneys occupy the same side of the body while one ureter - its length based on kidney location - traverses across midline to graft into opposite-side bladder. McDonald and McClellan classified renal ectopia into 4 types. Solitary crossed renal ectopia (SCRE) is an extremely uncommon abnormality of the urinary system.

Introduction And Importance: Crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by both kidneys being fused together on one side of the spine. Herein, we present an atypical subtype of this disease. To our best knowledge, in the current literature, there is few cases reported with superior crossed fused renal ectopia of the right kidney.
