Overview
Mesoblastic nephroma is a type of kidney tumor.
Classification
Mesoblastic nephroma may be classified according to pathology into three subtypes: classic, cellular, and mixed mesoblastic nephroma.[1]
Pathophysiology
On gross pathology, a solid nonencapsulated mass that often occurs near the renal hilum is the characteristic finding of mesoblastic nephroma. On microscopic histopathological analysis, spindle cell is the characteristic finding of classic mesoblastic nephroma; whereas, plump cells with vesicular nuclei is the characteristic finding of cellular mesoblastic nephroma.[2]
Causes
Mesoblastic nephroma may be caused by translocation t(12:15)(p13;q25) that generates the fusion of ETV6/NTRK3 gene.[3]
Differential diagnosis
Mesoblastic nephroma must be differentiated from rhabdoid tumor, clear cell sarcoma of the kidney, and Wilm's tumor.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Mesoblastic nephroma is a rare disease that tends to affect children under 3 years of age, especially neonates. [4][5] The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[6]
