Metanephric adenoma (MA) and Wilms' tumor (WT) are two distinct types of renal tumors. Composite MA and WT of the kidney are extremely rare. Here, a rare case of composite MA and WT of the kidney in a 36-year-old male is described. MA and WT each have their own histopathological features, respectively, and they focally share morphological similarities, which can be a diagnostic challenge. Immunohistochemistry is useful in the differential diagnosis of MA and WT. The histopathological features and differential diagnosis of the composite tumor are emphasized here to promote a better and broader understanding of this less understood subject.
