“…Usually, cases with CMN present with an abdominal mass at less than 6 months of age; however, these lesions may be detected prenatally on routine obstetric ultrasound examination. Polyhydramnios, owing to excessive urine production, may be found in 71% of pregnancies associated with CMN 15. Pathologically, CMN is divided into two groups (classic and cellular) based on histopathological appearance.…”

Congenital renal tumours are rare and usually benign. Polyhydramnios is the most common mode of presentation. Although most cases have been diagnosed postnatally, with advances in imaging technology, an increasing number of cases are being detected on antenatal scans. We describe a case of solid tumour of kidney detected in the second trimester of pregnancy and managed by surgery in the postnatal period.

“…Current opinion favors the classification of mesoblastic nephroma as a distinct, and usually benign neoplasm, arising from the renal parenchyma (14). There appears to be a higher incidence of preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes in pregnancies complicated by CMN, as a result of associated polyhydramnios (4, 15). However, the mechanism of polyhydramnios is unclear (16).…”

Although congenital renal tumors are rare, congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is the most common renal tumor in early infancy. It is non-metastatic, well differentiated, amenable to surgical removal, and carries a good prognosis. Polyhydramnios has been detected in most of the published cases of CMN. However, we experienced a rare case of fetal CMN associated with oligohydramnios. A 28-yr old woman at 34 weeks of gestation was referred to our hospital for oligohydramnios and a fetal abdominal mass. An ultrasonography revealed a huge, well-encapsulated mass arising from the right kidney. An emergency cesarean section was performed due to fetal distress. After birth, despite intensive neonatal care, the baby died because of renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, pulmonary edema, together with other problems

“…Polyhydramnios, owing to excessive urine production, may be found in 71% of pregnancies associated with CMN. 6 Pathologically, this tumor is divided into 2 groups (classic and cellular) based on histopathologic appearance. The classical type represents about one third of cases and is described as an intrarenal tumor with a macroscopic and microscopic appearance similar to uterine leiomyoma.…”
