J Pediatr Surg. 2004 Sep;39(9):1440-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2004.05.030.

Abstract

The authors report a rare case of renal failure secondary to abdominal cyst in a newborn girl. The clinical presentation was one of a largely distended abdomen coupled with anuria. The histopathologic and clinical findings suggest mesenteric cyst causing renal failure by mass effect.
