A rare occurrence of neonatal nephroblastoma in sub-Saharan Africa: a case report and management in a resource-constrained region

Neonatal nephroblastoma has been rarely reported in African neonate. A premature newborn (a 5-day-old male) was transferred with a history of neonatal abdominal mass. Ultrasonography revealed 75×46 mm, well-defined mass with mixed echogenicity replacing the right kidney. The patient underwent right...
