Abstract
The concept of metanephric adenoma has
become established in recent years. Metanephric
adenoma is a rare neoplasm. Macroscopically, the cut
surface of the tumor displays a tan to gray or yellow
color, and tumors generally form well-circumscribed
masses. Histologically, tumors are composed of small
epithelial cells that form small acini. Glomeruloid
bodies, which are composed of lobulated papillary
projections, are occasionally seen. Although there have
been few studies using chromosomal analysis, two
recent studies have shown partial monosomy or LOH of
2p. On the other hand, the concept of metanephric
tumors has recently become broadened. These tumors
include metanephric adenomas, adenofibromas and
stromal tumors, and they compose a continuous
histological spectrum. Therefore, further studies on
various aspects are needed to identify the gene
responsible for the occurrence of metanephric tumors
and, furthermore, to clarify the association among the
three types of metanephric tumors.
