Scintigraphic and sonographic diagnosis of neonatal mesoblastic nephroma. Case report

Clin Nucl Med. 1983 Jun;8(6):252-3. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198306000-00007.

Abstract

The morphologic characteristics of mesoblastic nephroma result in a scintigraphic appearance which distinguishes this benign neonatal tumor from Wilms' tumor. This case report describes a patient in whom the use of scintigraphy and real-time sonography permitted preoperative diagnosis of mesoblastic nephroma.
