title: Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder after kidney transplantation: spontaneous improvement with azathioprine removal; surgical trauma and cytomegalovirus infection as possible etiologic factors.
abstract: We report 2 cases of nephrogenic adenoma several years after successful cadaver kidney transplantation. In 1 case the lesion had cytomegalovirus inclusions, and we observed a marked and sustained reduction in the extension of the lesion with cessation of azathioprine. Surgical trauma and cytomegalovirus infections are discussed as etiologic factors. Conservative treatment seemed appropriate.
