Sumario:Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a characteristic renal malformation, with a relatively low incidence. Radiologically, identification of MSK is sometimes ambiguous when compared to a renal mass. Here, we report a novel renal clear cell carcinoma in MSK, and discuss our approach to treatment. We recommended that a preoperative biopsy should be performed, followed by a comprehensive discussion regarding the appropriate perioperative preparations and careful surgical techniques that should be performed for this complex disease.
