Gross Pathology

Characteristic findings of metanephric adenoma on gross pathology include:

• Solitary mass
• Sharply circumscribed
• Not encapsulated

Microscopic Pathology

The characteristics of metanephric adenomas include:

• Small uniform cells with:

• Fine chromatin
• No apparent nucleolus
• Smooth nuclear membrane

• Variable architecture:

• May be sheets, ductal or micropapillary

• Psammoma bodies may present

• metanephric adenoma[2]
