, Ray S. King b, Sherita A. King a, William B. Bates c, Rabii Madi aAbstract |
A 57-year-old woman presented with a 1-week history of left lower quadrant pain and nausea and vomiting.

The kidneys were in the pelvis and oriented “back-to-back,” with the lateral portions of the kidneys fused in the midline.
