Metanephric adenoma is a benign tumour of the kidney.
It should not be confused mesonephric adenoma, another term for nephrogenic adenoma.
This can be remembered as follows: metanephric adenoma is a tumour.
General
- Benign.
- Afflicts adults and occasionally children.
- May be associated with polycythemia.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Small uniform cells with:
- Fine chromatin.
- No apparent nucleolus.
- A relatively smooth nuclear membrane.
- Variable architecture - may be sheets, ductal or micropapillary.
- +/-Psammoma bodies.
DDx:
- Epithelioid nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour) - these typically have:
- Irregular nuclear membrane.
- Nucleoli.
- Mitoses (rare in metanephric adenoma).
- Papillary RCC.[2]
- Other small round cell tumours, e.g. small cell carcinoma.
