ABSTRACT

Metanephric adenofibroma is a rare kidney tumor. Clinically, it usually presents with hematuria and some cases are associated with polycythemia and high blood pressure. It is indistinguishable from other solid tumors, particularly Wilms’ tumor. Optimum treatment has yet to be established. The case of a patient with atypical symptoms who underwent percutaneous biopsy that reported metanephric adenofibroma is presented. Right heminephrectomy was performed leaving tumor-free surgical margins. There was no metastasis at postoperative follow-up.
