- Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is the most common solid renal tumor in newborns, despite being a rare benign tumor.
- The typical signs of CMN include polyhydramnios, and there has been only one previous case of it being linked to prenatal fetal hydrops.
- This report details a case where CMN was diagnosed at 22 + 3 weeks of gestation using sonography and MRI, noted for being the earliest reported diagnosis and the second instance associated with fetal hydrops.
