Abstract:
Nephrogenic adenoma is a metaplastic condition which usually involves the bladder urothelium within the clinical setting of chronic inflammation. Its presentation/endoscopic appearance may mimic bladder cancer and a premalignant potential has been speculated. DNA flow cytometry performed on involved bladder tissue revealed a diploid phenotype exhibiting low proliferative activity. These findings are most suggestive of a benign process.
