Abstract:
Nephrogenic adenoma is a relatively rare, benign tumor of the urinary tract. We experienced two cases of nephrogenic adenoma originating in the bladder. The first patient was a 61-year-old man. Two papillary tumors were found on the bladder. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) was performed. The second patient was a 72-year-old man who had a history of TUR-Bt for the bladder tumor and a history of left nephroureterectomy for left ureteral tumor. Cystoscopy showed a papillary tumor on the top of the bladder wall and TUR-Bt was performed. In both cases, the histopathological diagnosis was the nephrogenic adenoma. Our cases are the 40th and 41st cases of the nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder reported in the Japanese literature.
