Description
Abstract
In a recent survey of more than one hundred
childhood renal tumors in our Laboratory files, we
identified a unique case characterized by an unusual
degree of differentiation and cell maturity.
Histologically this case was notable for an
orderly array of small and uniformly-packed tubules
with a rosette-like configuration. The nuclei were
oval, smooth and of a bland appearance. Mitoses were
absent. Many glomerular figures were intermingled. This
renal tumor picture is somewhat different from that
known as tubular Wilms' tumor because of the welldifferentiated
adenomatous pattern and the absence of
any blastema.
The term metanephric adenoma is suggested for this
tumor, which may represent the benign counterpart of
Wilms' tumor.
