title: [Metanephric adenoma. Case report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Metanephric adenoma is an unfrequent renal neoplasm, usually asymptomatic. Differential diagnosis with other renal tumors has to be performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report the case of a 67 years old woman with a metanephric adenoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Metanephric tumors comprise a pathologic spectrum of lesions. At one end of the pathologic spectrum are the metanephric adenomas. These tumors usually behave in a benign fashion. It is important to differentiate metanephric adenoma from clinically aggressive renal tumors.
