A rare infant kidney tumor, mesoblastic nephroma, can cause dangerous hypercalcemia. Prompt treatment and tumor removal normalized calcium levels in this case, highlighting the need for vigilance.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Mesoblastic nephroma is a rare congenital kidney tumor.
  • Hypercalcemia is a potentially life-threatening complication associated with mesoblastic nephroma.

Observation:

  • A 14-week-old female infant presented with a diagnosed mesoblastic nephroma.
  • The infant was found to have hypercalcemia upon presentation.

Findings:

  • Hypercalcemia was successfully corrected prior to surgical tumor removal.
  • Serum calcium levels normalized postoperatively and remained within the normal range.

Implications:

  • Hypercalcemia is a critical complication of mesoblastic nephroma requiring prompt investigation.
