Abstract
Ectopic kidney is a rare congenital abnormalitly and is usually asymptomatic and found incidentally. Giant hydronephrosis is also an uncommon lesion in children and adolescents and is usually due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction. We report a case of 14-yearold male presenting with abdominal fullness, suprapubic pain and decreased urine output with biochemical evidence of renal impairment. The findings from the radiologic investigations were suggestive of an ectopic pelvic kidney with giant hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic obstruction causing contralateral obstruction to the kidney and ureter - an extremely rare presentation.
