Abstract

Pancake kidney, also known as discoid kidney, lump kidney, or fused pelvic kidney, is a rare renal fusion anomaly of the kidneys of the crossed fused variety. The majority of patients with this anomaly are asymptomatic. We present a case of pancake kidney which was incidentally found in a child with abdominal pain with no other associated anomalies and was managed conservatively.
