Metanephric adenomas are a rare neoplasm of the kidney with less than 200 cases reported. We report a case of a metanephric adenoma incidentally found on imaging in a 52-year-old Hispanic female and treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. A brief review of the literature is also included.

Metanephric adenoma presents as a rare benign tumor in children with differentiated diagnoses: Wilms tumor or renal cell carcinoma. When confronted with small renal tumors, whether they fall into one of these three diagnostic categories, tumor resection surgery with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is considered a viable and effective operative approach. Herein, we report the case of an 11-year-old female patient initially diagnosed with stage T1a renal cell carcinoma with postoperative pathology results confirming metanephric adenoma.
