Abstract
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower poles, as well as hilum with no septum. Each kidney, however, demonstrated separate consists of own collecting system. 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy is a valuable imaging detection of different shape anomalies such as pancake kidney. We report this extremely rare case of ectopic fused types of renal anomaly including pancake kidney
期刊介绍：
Iranian Journal of Nuclear Medicine is a peer-reviewed biannually journal of the Research Institute for Nuclear Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, covering basic and clinical nuclear medicine sciences and relevant applications such as molecular imaging, functional and metabolic investigation of disease, radiobiology, dosimetry, radiopharmacy, radiochemistry, instrumentation and computer sciences, etc. The journal particularly welcomes original articles reflecting the local or worldwide growing materials as well as common critical problems and interests in the field of nuclear medicine. Also review articles, case reports and letters to the editor in this subject will be accepted.
