Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder.
Nephrogenic adenoma is a rare, benign lesion of the bladder, occurring as a metaplastic response of urothelium to chronic infection or trauma. The symptoms are non-specific, being merely those of chronic cystitis. Endoscopically, the lesion can be mistaken easily for a low grade, low stage transitional cell carcinoma. The treatment consist of long-term, low-dose antibiotic therapy, transurethral resection and fulguration of the tumour.
