ABSTRACT: Renal
duplication or supernumerary kidney (SK) is a rare anomaly, poorly documented.
It is often discovered fortuitously or after complications. Its preoperative
diagnosis is difficult. We hereby report the case of a left supernumerary
kidney discovered upon thoracic-abdominal pelvic CT staging in a 50-year-old
woman monitored for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
