Congenital mesoblastic nephroma

A rare renal tumor characterized by a unilateral solitary well demarcated mesenchymal/myofibroblastic neoplasm occurring in very young children. Histopathologically three subtypes (classic cellular and mixed) can be distinguished. The tumor most commonly involves the renal sinus and is typically discovered as a palpable abdominal mass. Patients may also present with hypertension or hematuria rarely with hypercalcemia or hyperreninemia. Prenatal presentation usually with polyhydramnios is not infrequent. The most important prognostic factor is completeness of surgical resection. Overall malignant potential is low and clinical outcome favorable.
