[Abstract] Objective To document the clinical characteristics and MR imaging features of metanephric adenoma (MA). Materials andMethods Pathologically-proven MAs with complete MR protocol were retrospectively analyzed between January 2013 and December 2019. The clinical information and MR imaging features were reviewed. Two experienced radiologists in consensus observed the MR imaging features of all the cases.Results Eleven cases of MA (3 males, 8 females) were enrolled in this study with age of (38.5±12.3) years old. All lesions were solitary. The diameter was (3.7±1.7) cm. Ten lesions were detected during routine health checkup. Two patient presented polycythemia. Ten patients underwent partial nephrectomy, and one radical nephrectomy. All lesions were well-defined, 7 lesions demonstrated exophytic growth, and 7 lesions were adjacent to the renal sinus. Two lesions showed complete pseudocapsule on T2WI and 4 incomplete pseudocapsule. Eight lesions showed cystic degeneration or necrosis and 2 hemorrhage. On T2WI 9 lesions showed inhomogeneous hypointensity, all lesion hyperintenisty on DWI, 8 of which showed rim hyperintensity, while on ADC map. All lesions showed hypointensity, 9 of which rim hypointensity. On T1WI 9 lesions showed hypointensity. On contrast-enhanced imaging, the signal intensity of MA lesions was lower than that of renal cortex, and MR lesions demonstrated progressive enhancement pattern.Conclusions MA is common in young and middle-aged women, with unilateral single mass and no obvious clinical symptoms. The main MR imaging features are mainly exophytic, adjacent to renal sinus at the inner edge, hypointensity on T2WI, no or incomplete pseudocapsule, rim diffusion restriction on DWI, visible cystic degeneration and necrosis, rare hemorrhage, no lipid or fat, and mild progressive enhancement. The characteristics of MR imaging can help clinicians and radiologists to accurately diagnose MA.
