Abstract
Metanephric adenoma is an uncommon benign renal tumor that occurs predominantly in adult females and rarely in children. On histomorphology it shows a resemblance to Wilms' tumor, nephrogenic rests and papillary renal cell carcinoma. Multifocality along with multicentricity has not been documented in English literature till date. From a diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoint, recognition of this entity is of the utmost importance, because it shows a favorable clinical outcome. We describe a rare case of bilateral, multicentric metanephric adenoma associated with triphasic Wilms' tumor (stage II) of the left kidney in a male child.Entities:
