Metanephric adenoma: Molecular study and review of the literature

Rodríguez-Zarco, Enrique; Machuca Aguado, Jesús; Macías García, Laura; Vallejo Benítez, Ana; Ríos Martín, Juan José

Abstract

Introduction: Metanephric adenoma (MA) is an uncommon benign tumor accounting for 0.2–0.7% of adult renal epithelial neoplasms. The clinical course is often indolent, but diagnosis should not be delayed since clinical symptoms (hematuria, fever, palpable abdominal mass, and flank pain) may be non-specific and overlap with those of a malign renal neoplasm. We report on 4 cases of AM, for which morphological and mutational analysis were performed. Material and Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was performed on sections cut from paraffin blocks to assess expression of WT1, vimentin, racemase, CK7, CD10 and RCC. Testing for the BRAF gene mutation V600 was carried out using real-time PCR (Cobas® 4800). Results: In all four cases, tumors were visible as well-circumscribed, non encapsulated masses located in the renal cortex and extending towards the medulla. At immunohistochemical examination, tumor cells stained negative for CK7, CD10 and RCC and positive for both WT1 (nuclear, intense) and vimentin (cytoplasmic, intense, and diffuse). Molecular analysis revealed the BRAF gene mutation V600E in three cases and wild-type BRAF in the fourth. Conclusions: BRAF molecular mutation analysis may aid diagnosis in cases with atypical histological features, especially in small incisional biopsies when reassessment of surgical treatment may be considered.

INTRODUCTION Me aneph ic adenoma (MA) is a a e benign umo o he kidney, accoun ing o 0.2% o adul enal epi helial neoplasms [1]. The umo , which is composed o p imi i e me aneph ic cells [2], is o en asymp oma ic.

Though i may also occu in child en, i is de ec ed mainly in adul s aged be ween 50 and 70 and is mo e common ( a io 2:1) in women [2, 4, 5]. Radical neph ec omy, c yoabla ion and adio equency ha e been used o ea his neoplasm [5]. While he clinical cou se is benign, his ological indings o en o e lap wi h hose o malignan umo s including Wilms umo and enal papilla y neoplasms, hus p omp ing he need o di e en ial diagnosis [6]. A be e unde s anding o his benign umo would undoub edly aid he de elopmen o less in asi e s a egies. Al hough mos au ho s ule ou he possibili y o MA becoming malignan , one case has been epo ed o a me aneph ic adenoma in associa ion wi h a high-g ade sa coma (me aneph ic adenosa coma) [5, 7]. Immunohis ochemical analysis is a use ul ool o di e en ial diagnosis. The li e a u e con ains ew epo s o in eg a ed diagnosis o MA using molecula echniques [8].

This umo is cu en ly classi ied among he me aneph ic neoplasms, which also include me aneph ic adenoma and me aneph ic s omal umou [4].

His ologically, i comp ises an acina a angemen o small cells. Di e en ial diagnosis o MA includes Wilms umo , neph ogenic es s and enal papilla y neoplasms [5]. MA ypically exp esses WT1 and CD57, bu s ains nega i e o CK7 and acemase. Posi i e in ense s aining o WT1 was eco ded in he ou cases epo ed he e, bu CD57 s aining was in mos o hem weak; so, BRAF mu a ion helped us o con i m he diagnosis o MA.
