Cellular Mesoblastic Nephroma with Liver Metastasis in a Neonate: Prenatal and Postnatal Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is the most common renal tumor in the first year of life. Here, we present unique findings of cellular variant CMN seen on prenatal and postnatal MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).The mass was well-visualized on prenatal MR DWI with diffusion restriction in the solid portions. After excision of the mass, follow-up whole body MRI with DWI helped identify local tumor recurrence with suspicious liver metastasis. This hepatic lesion also showed diffusion restriction.

Mesoblastic nephroma: a case report of prenatal detection by MR imaging.
We report a case of mesoblastic nephroma detected prenatally by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MR imaging could provide valuable information about the origin and nature of a fetal abdominal mass and help define the relationship of the mass to adjacent structures.
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of congenital mesoblastic nephroma
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is a rare renal tumor that is diagnosed during pregnancy and is associated with polyhydramnios, prematurity, and neonatal hypertension. Differential diagnoses include Wilms tumor, adrenal neuroblastoma, and other abdominal tumors. We report a case of congenital mesoblastic nephroma detected by prenatal ultrasonography as a large fetal renal mass with polyhydramni...

We here present the antenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of mesoblastic nephroma in a fetus. A profitable design using single-shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) MRI sequence was applied for recognition of the abdominal mass with renal origin in the mobile fetus. SSFSE could significantly shorten the scanning time, therefore we got satisfactory images without fetal sedation. The image fi...

Background: Due to intrinsic heterogeneity of cellular distribution and density within diffusion weighted images (DWI) of glioblastoma multiform (GBM) tumors, differentiation of active tumor and peri-tumoral edema regions within these tumors is challenging. The aim of this paper was to take advantage of the differences among heterogeneity of active tumor and edematous regions within the gliobla...
متن کاملCongenital mesoblastic nephroma with distant metastasis in a premature twin gestation
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is a rare renal tumor of infancy. Here, we present a case of CMN presenting in a 29 week premature male in a twin gestation. An abdominal mass had been noted on prenatal ultrasound. He was initially treated with right radical nephrectomy. Pathology was consistent with cellular type CMN. Three months postoperatively, the patient developed pulmonary metastasi...
