title: [Cellular or atypical mesoblastic nephroma of partially cystic form. Apropos of a case in a 27 year old woman].
abstract: A case of partially cystic atypical or cellular variant of mesoblastic nephroma in a 27 year old woman is reported herein. Some of the cysts were like those seen in a cystic nephroma (solitary multilocular cyst) and others resembled ectasic vascular channels. Nephrectomy was the only treatment used. Since her operation our patient has become pregnant and given birth to a healthy daughter. The mother is well and free of disease more than 18 months after nephrectomy. We have only found 7 other reports of adult mesoblastic nephroma. Ours in the first published case of the cellular or atypical variant of mesoblastic nephroma in an adult patient. Difficulty in diagnosis and treatment particular to this type of tumor is stressed upon with reference to pediatric and adult cases described in the literature.
