Metanephric adenoma (MA) is a rare epithelial tumor of the kidney with a characteristic histology. To date, the imaging features of the tumor have not been clearly described. Until now, MA was considered to be benign, but the majority of MA cases underwent nephrectomy. Here, we report a case of MA confirmed by surgical pathology, and we will analyze the ultrasound and computed tomography findings. The radiological features of MA are presented along with a brief review of the pertinent literature to deepen the understanding of MA's imaging features.
后肾腺瘤（MA）是一种罕见的具有特征性组织学表现的肾脏上皮性肿瘤。迄今为止，该肿瘤的影像学特征尚未得到明确描述。在此之前，MA被认为是良性的，但大多数MA病例都接受了肾切除术。在此，我们报告一例经手术病理证实的MA病例，并分析其超声和计算机断层扫描结果。本文展示了MA的影像学特征，并对相关文献进行简要回顾，以加深对MA影像学特征的理解。
