Abstract
We radiologically illustrate a case of nephroptosis in an 82-year-old male whose right kidney had progressively descended into the right hemiscrotum. This was detected upon a recent visit to the accident and emergency department (A&E) where a computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated the right kidney within the scrotum with a degree of hydronephrosis yet a stable renal function. The patient was managed conservatively as per the multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting advice.
