Severe neonatal hypercalcemia revealing congenital mesoblastic nephroma: A case report and management of neonatal hypercalcemia: Severe neonatal hypercalcemia revealing congenital mesoblastic nephroma.

Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is a rare pediatric renal tumor and has been reported in patients presenting with palpable abdominal mass, arterial hypertension, hematuria, polyuria, or hypercalcemia. Here we present the case of a 1-month-old neonate with suspected parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptide (PTH-rp)-mediated severe hypercalcemia revealing congenital mesoblastic nephroma. Preoperatively, hypercalcemia was corrected with hydration, furosemide, pamidronate, and low-calcium infant formula. Unilateral nephrectomy led to the resolution of hypercalcemia, transient hyperparathyroidism, and transient vitamin D and mineral supplementation. We conclude that congenital mesoblastic nephroma can secrete PTH-rp that can cause severe hypercalcemia.
