[Nephrogenic adenoma after kidney transplantation].
We report five cases of nephrogenic adenoma that arose several years after cadaver kidney transplantation. Cystoscopy was performed in all patients because of gross haematuria and revealed multifocal tumorous lesions in all parts of the bladder. On admission to of hospital graft function was satisfactory in all patients. There were three female and two male patients. In all patients the therapeutic procedure consisted of transurethral resection. Only very small lesions were fulgurated. Postoperatively an indwelling catheter was left in place for 2-4 days, and after a check on kidney parameters and immunosuppressive therapy all patients were discharged. Postoperative management consisted in cystoscopy every 3 months in the first year and then every 6 months. Though the etiology of nephrogenic adenoma remains unclear, mechanical traumatization and recurrent urinary tract infection seem to be the most important factors in its development.
