metanephric adenofibroma

Microscopical synopsis

- intratumoral angiodysplasia
- concentric cuffing of entrapped tubules ("onion skinning")
- heterologous differentiation
- epithelial components

  • inactive embryonal epithelium (identical morphologically to metanephric adenoma (MA)
  • carcinomatous component distinct from these lesions but identical morphologically to papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC).

Prognosis

- metastases to the regional lymph nodes at the time of diagnosis (1/9) (#11257617#)

Differential diagnosis

- congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) -> intratumoral angiodysplasia, concentric cuffing of entrapped tubules ("onion skinning"), and heterologous differentiation. (#11257617#)
