Abstract
Nephrogenic adenoma is a common diagnosis in urological pathology that may be challenging for general pathologists. Due to its polymorphic appearance under the microscope, some cases can be misdiagnosed as malignancy and then unnecessarily overtreated.
Aside from the typical tubules, cysts and papillae, nephrogenic adenoma may display a broad spectrum of histologic appearances and locations, some of them atypical or unexpected. These unusual and concerning features will have special consideration in this description.
The goal of the review is to increase awareness of general pathologists of the varied histology of nephrogenic adenoma.
