Abstract
The concomitant occurrence of medullary sponge kidney and hemihypertrophy (asymmetry) appears to be a rare event. A case is reported and added to 5 previous cases found in the literature. The precise etiologies of these disorders are unknown; however, both are suspected of being congenital in origin, arising during embryonic development, and representing mesodermal dysgenesis.
