[A case of crossed fused kidney with simple ureterocele].

A 32-year-old man consulted Osaka National hospital with chief complaints of dysuria and macrohematuria. DIP and CT revealed that the right kidney deviated to the lower pole of the left kidney and they fused together. The right ureter crossed over the supine. The calcified shadow existed in the lower end of the left ureter with cobra head image. He had no external anomalies. Under diagnosing crossed fused kidney (inverted L shaped) complicated the left ureterocele with a stone, transurethral incision of ureterocele (TUI) was performed. We made transverse incision and extracted stone, 7 mm in size (calcium oxalate 96% and calcium phosphate 4%). Three months later after the operation, IVP, CG and VCG revealed the down-sized ureterocele and no VUR. Crossed renal ectopia complicated many anomalies about 50%. Among them anomalies of the urinary tract was most frequent about 30%. But crossed renal ectopia with ureterocele wasn't reported so far in Japanese literature.
