Abstract
This is a report of a 10-year-old girl with congenital hemihypertrophy (CH) associated with medullary sponge kidney (MSK) and adrenocortical adenoma. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography demonstrated a small, non-functional, adrenocortical adenoma. A search of the literature failed to reveal any previously reported case having all three conditions. A 10-year-old Japanese girl was admitted with fever, headache and vomiting of 2 days duration. She was born without complications after full-term pregnancy with a birth weight of 3750 g. Slight asymmetry of her legs was noted at birth. Her development was normal and there was no family history of renal disease. On admission, slight hypertrophy of the left lower extremity was noted and the left thigh was 3.0 cm greater in girth than the right.Keywords
