Supernumerary kidneys are defined by the presence of a 3rd or 4th kidney that is separate from the homolateral kidney and is served by a branch of a bifid ureter or a separate (double) ureter. These kidneys are poorly documented and extremely rare. These kidneys may be the site of lithiasis. We report here the ureteroscopic management of a pyelocalic lithiasis on a supernumerary kidney revealed by right low back pain in a woman.
