Pelvic kidneys are uncommon anomalies rarely utilized in kidney transplantation. We describe a successful case of living‐donor transplantation using a pelvic kidney in a 17‐month‐old infant with congenital renal dysplasia. The recipient had exhausted all options for renal replacement therapy, and urgent transplantation was considered a life saving treatment.
