During an abdominopelvic cavity dissection in an undergraduate gross anatomy course, a right ectopic pelvic kidney was identified in the lesser pelvis and was concomitant with bilateral vascular aberrations. The right kidney was located anterior to the sacrum and medial to the right common iliac artery bifurcation with aberrant vasculature. The left kidney was located near the traditional T12-L3 level; however, multiple aberrant arteries supplied this kidney as well. Such renal anatomy anomalies have immediate implications in anatomy and embryology education, medical imaging, abdominopelvic surgical approaches, and the field of nephrology regarding renal form, function, and pathophysiology.
