Extrarenal Pyelocaliceal System
An extrarenal pyelocaliceal system is characterized by calyces and renal pelvis, which are not within the renal parenchyma. The pyelocaliceal system contacts only next to the papilla the renal parenchyma, the hilus is flat and wide. The extrarenal collecting system has usually no clinical significance.
