AB  - Medullary  sponge  kidney  is  believed  to  affect  less  than  1%  of  the  general  population.  Although  present  at  birth,  it  is  not  usually  diagnosed  until  the  fourth  or  fifth  decade.  It  is  thought  to  occur  due  to  disruption  of  the  ureteric  bud-metanephric  mesenchyme  interface,  often  resulting  from  autosomal  dominant  mutations  in  genes  responsible  for  urogenital  development.  Kidneys  have  a  marked  irregular  enlargement  of  the  medullary  and  interpapillary  collecting  ducts.  This  is  associated  with  medullary  cysts  that  are  diffuse,  giving  a  “Swiss  cheese”  appearance  in  these  regions.
