Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for metanephric adenoma in a pediatric patient - The first case report from vietnam.

ABSTRACT

Metanephric adenoma presents as a rare benign tumor in children with differentiated diagnoses Wilms tumor or renal cell carcinoma. When confronted with small renal tumors, whether they fall into one of these three diagnostic categories, tumor resection surgery with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is considered a viable and effective operative approach. Herein, we report the case of an 11-year-old female patient initially diagnosed with stage T1a renal cell carcinoma with postoperative pathology results confirming metanephric adenoma. Successfully treated with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, the patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis during follow-up.
