Abstract
Nephrogenic adenoma is a relatively common reactive process. Many of these lesions, if not all, are proliferative autotransplants of renal tubular cells shed in urine and implanted on a traumatized urothelial lining. Nephrogenic adenoma typically occurs in persons with a history of injury to the urothelial mucosa, including surgical manipulation, catheterization, calculi, and chronic inflammation. Immunosuppression associated with renal transplantation may enhance its development. However, most nephrogenic adenomas are not associated with organ transplant.
