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.

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
IHC CK7 +ve, PAX8 +ve, p53 -ve, CEA -ve, Ki-67 low (<5%)
Site urothelium - usu. urinary bladder

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign

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]

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.

IHC

Features:[7]

  • CK7 +ve.
  • PAX2 +ve.[8]
  • PAX8 +ve.
  • AMACR +ve/-ve.

Others:[2]

  • p53 -ve.
  • CEA -ve.
  • Ki-67 low (<5%).
  • MUC1 +ve.
    • Marks distal renal tubule.[9]
  • PSA -ve.[10]
  • PSAP -ve.[10]

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)).
