AB Abdominal  masses  may  be  found  on  initial  newborn  exam  but  are  increasingly  identified  on  prenatal  ultrasound.  They  can  arise  from  peritoneal  viscera  (solid  organs,  mesentery,  and  GI  tract)  as  well  as  retroperitoneum  (kidneys  and  adrenal  glands).  Other  causes  can  include  obstruction  of  the  urinary  system  or  reproductive  organs  which  can  present  as  an  abdominal  or  pelvic  mass.  Ovarian  cysts  are  common  in  the  neonatal  period.
