Abstract
Objective:
A case of adult mesoblastic nephroma is presented. The clinical features, treatment, histological diagnosis and outcome are discussed.
Methods/Results:
A 68-year-old patient in whom a renal mass had been detected by ultrasound is described. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy. The anatomopathological analysis demonstrated a mesoblastic nephroma. No signs of recurrence have been observed at 3 years' follow-up.
Conclusions:
Mesoblastic nephroma of adulthood has a benign behavior and recurrence is rare after surgery.
