*Dr. Monika Negi and Dr. Akhilesh Negi

ABSTRACT

Pancake kidney is a rare renal structural anomaly (less than 10 percent)[1] characterized by complete fusion of B/L kidneys in the pelvic cavity, however the excretory system of the kidneys remains separate with normal insertion of ureters in the urinary bladder.[2,3] The affected individuals are usually asymptomatic and it is an incidental finding. It has an incidence rate of 1 in 65000–375000 individuals[2] with male predominance of 2.5:1.[1]
