Bladder washing flow cytometry assessment of nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder.
A case of nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder is reported. This rare benign lesion that histologically resembles primitive renal collecting tubules is considered to represent a metaplastic response of urothelium to several stimulating factors. DNA flow cytometry performed on preoperative bladder washing revealed an aneuploid phenotype.
