Cytology of nephrogenic adenoma of the urinary bladder. A report of four cases.
All urine cytology specimens of four patients with biopsy-proven nephrogenic adenoma were reviewed. The specimens revealed the presence of atypical or suspicious epithelial cells as long as one and one-half years before the diagnosis of nephrogenic adenoma was established. Most of the atypical cells were vacuolated, and some were considered suspicious for adenocarcinoma initially. Such suspicious cells in the urine of a patient at risk for development of nephrogenic adenoma should not be confused with those of an adenocarcinoma.
