Abstract 

The indications for, and timing of, surgical intervention for suprarenal masses detected prenatally are unclear. Also, the definitive diagnosis of suprarenal masses using imaging studies is difficult at best. We report 2 cases of antenatally detected suprarenal masses. One case represents an initial cystic mass expanding and becoming solid that had benign pathologic features. The second case was a stable solid mass that, on exploration, was malignant. Management options are discussed.
