The histopathological examination revealed congenital mesoblastic nephroma (classical type). After consultation with the paediatric surgeon, pediatric oncologist it was decided that the girl did not require chemo-therapeutic treatment Conclusions: Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is one of the most frequent renal tumours in newborns and young infants.
