Metanephric adenoma (MA) is a rare renal neoplasm and is considered to have a good prognosis. It is often difficult to distinguish this entity from other malignant neoplasms preoperatively. We report a case of MA in the lower pole right kidney of a 52-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain for two weeks. Relevant literature is reviewed and discussed.
Key Words: Metanephric adenoma, renal neoplasm, differential diagnosis.
