Congenital mesoblastic nephroma: a rare pediatric neoplasm.
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is a stromal neoplasm of infancy. It has been     referred to as mesenchymal, cystic or leiomyomatous hamartoma. These tumors are     centered around the hilus of the kidney. Mesoblastic nephromas need to be     distinguished from other pediatric renal neoplasms as these lesions are treated     by complete surgical excision without chemotherapy unless gross residual tumor     remains. Here, we describe the gross and microscopic features of mesoblastic     nephroma in a twenty-day old infant.
