Metanephric stromal tumor: a rare benign pediatric renal mass

Urology. 2001 Sep;58(3):462. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(01)01171-2.

Abstract

We report a rare case and description of a benign pediatric renal mass. To our knowledge, this tumor has never been described in urologic published reports. It is possible that the identification of this renal tumor could spare a child the toxic adjuvant chemotherapy that would be administered if confused with histologically similar tumors such as clear cell sarcoma of the kidney.
