CELLULAR MESOBLASTIC NEPHROMA: REPORT OF 3 CASES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 18
Abstract
Mesoblastic nephroma is a relatively rare infantile renal tumor. It comprises 3–6% of pediatric renal masses. It comprises of three histological types namely classic, cellular and mixed variants. Cellular variant accounts for 60% cases and is associated with poor prognosis with survival rate of 85% compared to 100% for classic variant. It remains a diagnostic challenge for pathologists due to its similarity to other more frequent kidney neoplasms. Here we report 3 cases of cellular mesoblastic nephroma which presented over a period of 4 years from January 2007 to December 2010
