Abstract
An ectopic iliopelvic kidney with hydronephrosis causing fetal malpresentat ion is a rare occurrence. We describe this case for its unusual presentatio n which was mistaken for an ovarian cyst. The difficulty in diagnosis and t he need for a high index of suspicion is highlighted. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci ence Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
