Mesoblastic nephroma, a rare adult renal tumor, was successfully treated with surgery in a 22-year-old woman. This case highlights the importance of continued follow-up for this uncommon tumor.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Mesoblastic nephroma is a rare renal tumor typically diagnosed in infancy.
- Its occurrence in adults is exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic challenges.
Observation:
- A 22-year-old woman presented with left flank pain and a left renal mass identified via ultrasonography.
- CT imaging revealed a heterogeneous renal tumor, leading to a left radical nephrectomy.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination showed a creamy white solid mass composed of spindle cell proliferation.
- The tumor lacked atypia and mitoses, with identifiable tubular epithelial elements.
- The patient remained recurrence-free 18 months post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case underscores that mesoblastic nephroma can occur in adults, necessitating consideration in adult renal masses.
- Despite its classification as benign, the potential for recurrence and malignant transformation mandates vigilant postoperative monitoring.
