Abstract
- Metanephric adenoma is a rare tumor of the kidney that has been reported mostly in adults. Despite its rarity, metanephric adenoma should be included in any differential diagnosis of solid renal masses in children, especially because of its benign nature and benign clinical course allowing for nephron sparing surgery. We report a case of metanephric adenoma, presented as a solid renal mass in a 14-month-old boy, and discuss the histologic basis of the imaging features of this entity.
