Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disease associated with the risk of different congenital malformations, bone marrow failure, and predisposition to cancer. Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are not infrequent in FA with renal ectopia being one of them. The incidence of the bilateral pelvic ectopic kidney is restricted to only a few reported cases; however, its association with FA has never been reported in the literature. We present a case of Fanconi anemia in a young girl with apparently fused kidneys on a 99mTc-DMSA planar scan which was confirmed to be bilateral pelvic kidneys on hybrid cross-sectional imaging.
