Unlabelled:
Antenatal ultrasounds allow the detection of renal tumors, especially renal mesoblastic nephromas, but only the pathological analysis of the surgical specimen can confirm this diagnosis postnatally.
Observation:
We report the prenatal discovery of a mesoblastic nephroma because of premature labour. Postnatal early surgery was decided because of possible complications in this premature infant. Histology revealed mesoblastic nephroma.
Comments:
We point out the diagnostic elements of congenital mesoblastic nephroma, especially in what is related to arterial hypertension and hypercalcemia, histology and cytogenetics.
