ectopia
Ectopia refers to a medical condition where an organ or a tissue is abnormally placed or located in a different part of the body than is typical. This can occur through a congenital defect, in which the organ or tissue develops in the wrong location during embryonic growth, or through displacement after birth. The term is often used in context specific to the organ or tissue in question, such as ectopic kidney or ectopic pregnancy.
