Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1992 Oct-Dec;9(4):335-45. doi: 10.3109/08880019209016605.

Abstract

Cellular (or atypical) congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is a potentially aggressive form of the benign classical congenital mesoblastic nephroma. We report here a case of cellular CMN in a 5-month-old boy treated preoperatively with chemotherapy with an excellent response allowing a complete surgical resection.
