Cross-fused renal ectopia (CRE) is a rare congenital anomaly where during development of the fetus, one kidney migrates to the opposite side and fuses with the kidney of that side. Crossfused ectopic kidney with contralateral pelvic kidney is a rare finding. Proper knowledge of morphological variations of kidneys is essential to avoid postnatal renal dysfunction and morbidity.
