Objective: Metanephric adenoma is an unfrequent renal neoplasm, usually asymptomatic. Differential diagnosis with other renal tumors has to be performed., Methods/results: We report the case of a 67 years old woman with a metanephric adenoma., Conclusions: Metanephric tumors comprise a pathologic spectrum of lesions. At one end of the pathologic spectrum are the metanephric adenomas. These tumors usually behave in a benign fashion. It is important to differentiate metanephric adenoma from clinically aggressive renal tumors.

Objective: Rhabdomyomas are benign tumors of the skeletal muscle and extracardiac rhabdomyomas are very rare., Methods/results: We report one case of spermatic cord rhabdomyoma in a 28-year-old male., Conclusions: Genital rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumors. Rhabdomyomas should be considered in the clinicopathological differential diagnosis of tumors of the male genital tract.

Objective: Persistence of a patent urachus is a relatively rare occurrence; however; the persistence of urachal remnants is common. The pathologic lesions of the urachus include benign and malignant neoplasms. The majority of malignant urachal neoplasms are adenocarcinomas., Methods and Results: We report a case of papillary urothelial carcinoma of urachus in a 73-year-old woman. The patient was treated with complete surgical extirpation and partial cystectomy., Conclusion: The recognition of urachal remnants as vestigial structures and pathologic lesions of the urachus is important.
