  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Mesoblastic nephroma is a rare congenital renal tumor predominantly affecting infants.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 5-day-old infant presented with a large, heterogeneous left renal mass.
  • Imaging studies, including ultrasonography and CT, revealed a contrast-enhancing tumor.

Findings:

  • The infant underwent left radical nephrectomy with no postoperative complications.
  • One-year follow-up confirmed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Implications:

  • Radical nephrectomy is the standard and effective treatment for mesoblastic nephroma.
