Renal ectopia or ectopic kidney describes a kidney that is not located in its usual position. It results from the kidney failing to ascend from its origin in the true pelvis or from a superiorly ascended kidney located in the thorax.

It has an incidence of approximately 1/1000.cite web |url=http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/Kudiseases/pubs/ectopicKidney/index.htm |title=Ectopic Kidney |accessdate=2007-12-01 |format= |work=]
