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.

Nephrogenic adenoma
Diagnosis in short

Nephrogenic adenoma. H&E stain.
Synonyms mesonephric adenoma, nephrogenic metaplasia
LM tubular structures with a microcystic appearance lined by hobnailed cells +/-thick eosinophilic basement membrane, usually associated with chronic inflammation
LM DDx urothelial carcinoma microcystic and nested variants, prostatic adenocarcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma (clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra, clear cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, metastatic clear cell adenocarcinoma)
IHC CK7 +ve, PAX8 +ve, p53 -ve, CEA -ve, Ki-67 low (<5%)
Site urothelium - usu. urinary bladder
Prevalence uncommon
Endoscopy occasionally a papillary-like mass or flat velvety lesion
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx no treatment necessary (?)

It should not be confused with metanephric adenoma.

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]

Gross

Features:

  • Usually an incidental finding only seen on microscopy.
  • May manifest as:
    • A papillary-like mass.[4]
    • A flat velvety lesion with an irregular border.[4]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Tubular structures - the classic morphology. †
    • Lined by a single cell layer - classically hobnailed. ‡
    • +/-Thick eosinophilic basement membrane.
    • Typically microcystic appearance.
  • Usually associated with chronic inflammation.

Notes:

  • May mimic vascular/lymphatic channels - can be sorted-out with IHC.
  • † May be tubulocystic, polypoid, papillary or fibromyxoid.[5]
  • ‡ May be flat.[5]
  • Should not have necrosis or mitoses.

IHC

Features:[9]

Others:[2]

  • p53 -ve.
  • CEA -ve.
  • Ki-67 low (<5%).
  • MUC1 +ve.
    • Marks distal renal tubule.[11]
  • PSA -ve.[12]
  • PSAP -ve.[12]
  • CD34 -ve.[13] (???)
  • p63 -ve (0/32 cases[14] ).
  • CK20 -ve usually (6 +ve of 32 cases[14]).
  • CK34betaE12 -ve usually (8+ve of 32 cases[14]).

PROSTATE TISSUE, TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF THE PROSTATE (TURP):
- BENIGN PROSTATE TISSUE WITH GLANDULAR AND STROMAL PROLIFERATION.
- UROTHELIAL MUCOSA WITH A MILD LYMPHOCYTIC INFILTRATE AND CHANGES CONSISTENT
  WITH CYSTITIS CYSTICA.
- BENIGN CALCIFICATIONS.
- NEPHROGENIC METAPLASIA (MESONEPHRIC ADENOMA), SEE COMMENT.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

COMMENT:
Nephrogenic metaplasia is a benign finding.  It is confirmed with immunostaining 
(POSITIVE for CK7, PAX8; NEGATIVE for AMACR, CK34betaE12 (very focal staining)).
