Metanephric adenoma
Diagnosis in short

Metanephric adenoma. H&E stain.

LM small uniform cells with fine chromatin, no apparent nucleolus, and a relatively smooth nuclear membrane; variable architecture - may be sheets or ductal
LM DDx Wilms tumour, papillary renal cell carcinoma (type 1)
IHC WT-1 +ve, CD57 +ve, AMACR -ve
Site kidney - see kidney tumours

Clinical history usu. adults, occasionally children
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis good, benign

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.
