ABSTRACT

We report a case of hypercalcemia associated with congenital mesoblastic nephroma. Hypercalcemia was corrected preoperatively and a nephrectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the serum calcium returned to normal. The patient has been followed for more than 18 months, during which time he has remained free of disease with normal serum calcium.
