TLDR
The interest of this case lies in the association of unilateral renal agenesis with the presence of an ipsilateral pelvic dilated ureter, ipsilaterally seminal vesicle hypoplasia and absence of the vas deferens.

TLDR
This case prompted a review of ectopic ovarian tissue and it is suggested that many of the past cases should be classified as ovarian implants rather than true embryologically derived ectopic tissue and the terms accessory ovary and supernumerary ovary are imprecise and should be modified.
