Medullary sponge kidney was found in association with congenital absence of teeth (anodontia) in 3 siblings of a single family. Anodontia occurs in the rare familial syndrome of ectodermal dysplasia, but its association with a renal (mesodermal) anomaly is not known. The present report lends further support to a possible hereditary etiology for medullary sponge kidney.
在一个家庭的3名兄弟姐妹中发现髓质海绵肾与先天性无牙症（无齿症）相关。无齿症发生于罕见的外胚层发育异常家族综合征中，但其与肾脏（中胚层）异常的关联尚不清楚。本报告进一步支持了髓质海绵肾可能存在遗传病因的观点。
