<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Crossed renal ectopia is an uncommon developmental anomaly in which both kidneys are located on the same side of the body. The present case describes a 20-year-old man who underwent the military entrance physical examination. The ultrasound showed the right kidney in normal site with slightly increased size, but the left kidney was not identified. ^99mTc-MAG₃ scan showed a single kidney with 2 ureters, and the orifices of the ureters were connected at both sides of bladder. ^99mTc-DMSA SPECT and contrast-enhanced multidetector CT were performed and revealed crossed fused renal ectopia.</p> </sec> </abstract>
