Abstract:
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is a slow-growing tumor considered to originate from renal mesenchyme and usually discovered before the age of 6 months. The tumor is almost invariably benign but has been mistaken for Wilms` tumor and unnecessarily overtreated. We report a case of congenital mesoblastic nephroma in 2 months aged infant.
