Aim:Metanephric tumors of kidney are rare benign kidney tumors of childhood.Some authors accept them as a well differentiated variant of Wilms’ tumor;however, tumor behaviour is totally different. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic features and treatment options of these rare tumors. Patients: We report four children with metanephric kidney tumors diagnosed incidentally. Three of them were considered as malignant preoperatively and underwent total nephrectomy. On the other hand, the fourth patient underwent partial nephrectomy for a strong suspicion of a benign tumor. The features of the cases are summarized on table1. When these patients were evaluated retrospectively, their magnetic resonance images were considered to have some differing features from Wilms’ tumor. All tumors were well circumscribed, less heterogenous and had lower contrast enhancement when compared to Wilms tumor. Age Gender Clinical Presentation Imaging-MR Surgery Pathology Immunohistochemical Staining 1 5y F Enuresis 34x30mm solid mass on the lower pole of left kidney Left nephrouretherectomy Metanephric adenoma WT1:Positive CD56:Focal positive CD57:Focal positive 2 2m F Urinary Tract Infection 20x20mm solid hypervascular tumor in the posteromedial of left kidney with malignant features Left nephrouretherectomy Metanephric stromal tumor WT1:Positive CD34:Positive Vimentin:Positive CD56:Negative CD57:Negative 3 7m F Urinary Tract Infection 42x30mm solid hypoecoic mass on the lower pole of right kidney Right nephrouretherectomy Metanephric stromal tumor WT1:Positive CD34:Positive 4 8y F Abdominal pain 24x23mm solid well circumscribed tumor on the upper pole of left kidney Left robotic partial nephrectomy Metanephric stromal tumor WT1:Focal positive CD34:Focal positive CD56:Negative CD57:Negative Conclusion:Wilms’ tumor constitutes the majority of renal tumors in children. As other renal tumors are very rare in children, clinicians may opt to radical surgery for not taking them into consideration. Benign kidney tumors should be kept in mind for nephron sparing surgery options especially in the presence of atypical findings.
