Abstract

A case of mesoblastic nephroma in a 14-month-old girl who developed consecutive metastases in the lung and the heart is presented. This tumor is considered to be benign and cured by surgery only. Recurrent cases are extremely rare and usually related to unclear surgical margins. Metastatic mesoblastic nephroma has been previously described in only two cases. The present case highlights a new, previously undescribed feature—the ability to metastasize to sites other than lung.
