Simple ectopia refers to the abnormal kidney location on the same side; in crossed ectopia the ureter crosses the midline of the body. Pelvic ectopic solitary kidney with hydronephrosis due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is even rarer in clinical practice. We report a case of a pelvic ectopic solitary kidney with hydronephrosis due to UPJO in an 18-year-old girl. Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) scan showed the Single Ectopic Kidney with irregular shape lying in the pelvis and its cortex is very thin because of the grossly dilated renal pelvis and ureter. The terminal ureteral joined the right posterior wall of bladder. The renal artery originated from the bilateral common iliac artery, and laparoscopic pyeloplasty was performed. 18 months after the surgery, hydronephrosis was improved morphologically, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate was stable.
