%X <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Diaphragmatic hernias may be acquired or congenital. Among congenital </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">hernias, the most common is Bochdalek hernia and eight out of ten Bochdalek
hernias occur on the left side. They are usually diagnosed in the paediatric
age group, and it is exceedingly rare for the diagnosis to be established in
adulthood. Renal ectopy associated with a Bochdalek hernia is extremely rare,
and </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">very few cases are reported worldwide.
We are reporting a case of a</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> 73-year-old </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">male patient with a right-sided Bochdalek hernia and renal ectopy. In this</span> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">case, promp diagnosis and treatment could
help to reduce the high risk of</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> death in this kind of patients.</span></span>
