Metanephric stromal tumour: A rare pediatric benign stromal specific renal neoplasm

Abstract: A case of incidentally detected Metanephric Stromal Tumour (MST) is reported here. This is a rare, recently recognized pediatric benign stromal specific renal neoplasm. A review of the English literature revealed only five cases after its original description by Argani et al. Recognition of this entity can spare a child from potentially toxic adjuvant chemotherapy that might be used to treat malignant lesions which are part of the differential diagnosis, particularly clear cell sarcoma of kidney (CCSK).

“…Proliferative lesions of the tubules or interstitium were rare but included cystic tubular epithelial hyperplasia (Figure 5A) and a congenital fibrogenic proliferative lesion (Figure 5B and inset) resembling a medullary fibrous hamartoma 9 or metanephric stromal tumour 10,11 in humans. The later was characterized by medullary proliferation of bland spindle-shaped stromal cells surrounding what appears to be trapped renal tubules (Figure 5B and inset).…”
