Nephrogenic adenoma, also known as mesonephric adenoma,[1] and nephrogenic metaplasia, is a rare lesion that is classically in the urinary bladder and can mimic adenocarcinoma.
General
Features:[2]
- Benign.
- May mimic adenocarcinoma!
- Classic location is the urinary bladder.
- Also reported in ureter and prostatic urethra.
- It is thought to result from displacement of renal tubular cells, as this entity in renal transplant recipients is graft derived.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Tubular structures - key feature.
- Hobnailed cells.
- +/-Thick eosinophilic basement membrane.
- Microcystic appearance.
- Usually associated with chronic inflammation.
Notes:
- May mimic vascular/lymphatic channels - can be sorted-out with IHC.
DDx:
- Urothelial carcinoma, microcystic and nested variants.
- Prostatic adenocarcinoma.
- Clear cell adenocarcinoma.

Features:[5]
