ABSTRACT
Rare benign tumours of the kidney comprise a group of very different histogenetic entities. We report a case of a 53-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy because of a renal mass. The diagnosis of a rare and benign metanephric adenoma was confirmed by histopathology. With less than 200 documented cases, the metanephric adenoma described here is a rarity in everyday urological practice and cannot be distinguished from a malignant tumour of the kidney by clinical examination and/or imaging without histological assessment.
