Background: A 63‐year‐old woman presented with right flank pain and macroscopic hematuria.Results/Methods: A plain film showed a calcific shadow on the right iliac bone. On excretory urography, the right kidney was seen in the normal position, but the left kidney was not. Bilateral retrograde pyelogram revealed the S‐shaped kidney and mild obstruction from a 12 × 5 mm calculus in the proximal ureter of the crossed kidney. The patient was successfully treated with in situ extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment and is stone free at 1 month follow up.Conclusion: We believe this is the first case of successful ESWL in a crossed kidney.
