An uncommon encounter: crossed fused renal ectopia with singular ureter: a case report.
Background: Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is a common congenital anomaly where one kidney is positioned abnormally on the opposite side of the midline, often fused with the other kidney. However, single ureter draining crossed fused renal ectopia is a rare occurrence.
Case report: Here, we report a case of crossed fused renal ectopia with a single ureter in a 46-year-old Nepali male who presented with history of lithuria. Computed tomography revealed that the left kidney was situated on the right side and fused with the right kidney. The renal pelvises of both kidneys were fused, and a single ureter, located on the right side, was draining both kidneys into the bladder. The patient was advised to have regular follow-ups.
Conclusion: Crossed fused renal ectopia with a single ureter represents a rare renal anomaly. Asymptomatic patients can typically be managed conservatively. Regular follow-up is recommended to monitor renal function, calculus formation, infections, and malignant changes.

JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
