Abstract

Metanephric adenoma is a rare and benign renal neoplasm originating in the epithelial cells of the kidney. The tumor has a benign course and a characteristic histopathological appearance, typically exhibiting a solid and poorly‑demarcated margin with rare cystic components or calcifications. However, it is often difficult to distinguish metanephric adenoma from malignant neoplasms prior to surgical resection. To the best of our knowledge, only one case of metastasis to the lymph nodes has been described in the literature thus far. The present study retrospectively analyzed one case of surgically and pathologically‑confirmed atypical metanephric adenoma. Clinical and pathological analysis, as well as computed tomography scans, revealed a mass with a clearly defined margin and diffuse calcifications. The mass was subsequently resected and the patient recovered well following the procedure.
