Abstract

We present the rare case of a triple kidney in a 13 years old girl; it was discovered as a casual finding, after the girl suffered an accident with abdominal trauma. The studies carried out were: abdominal echosonography and intravenous urography. It is reported as the first case in Cuba because there is nothing published in Cuba about this, and there are only 80 cases in the international literature.
