CT Scan

• CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of metanephric adenoma.
• Findings on CT scan include:

• A hyperattenuating mass on unenhanced CT scan
• Large tumors appear as heterogeneous, hypovascular masses with frequent foci of hemorrhage and necrosis.
• Calcification is seen in 20% of cases.
