An Obliquely Coursed Renal Vein of a Lobulated Left Kidney into Left Common Iliac Vein with Right Kidney Showing Dromedary Hump

The Renes/kidneys are always a subject of variations including their form, location, surfaces and borders may show variations.. The cadaveric dissection revealed a lobulated Left Kidney which is drained by a long obliquely coursed renal vein into the left common iliac vein, instead of draining horizontally into the inferior vena cava. The left supra renal vein was extending vertically to drain into the main renal vein of the left kidney. Also the left gonadal vein was seen opening into the renal vein adjacent to the hilum medial to the ureter. The hilar anatomy was normal with the vein being most anteriorly placed followed by the artery and ureter placed posteriorly. There were three prominent lobulations seen on the anterior surface of the left kidney. The right kidney along its convex lateral border presented a focal bulge - dromedary hump (DMH).
