Аннотация
CONTEXT.—: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a common urinary tract lesion typically associated with urothelial disruption, leading to implantation of shed renal tubular cells. NA may demonstrate a spectrum of architectural and cytologic features mimicking urothelial carcinoma (UC), adenocarcinoma (including clear cell adenocarcinoma and prostatic adenocarcinoma), and invasion. However, admixed UC and NA has not been described.
OBJECTIVE.—: To describe cases where the NA was intimately intermixed with UC, potentially mimicking variant differentiation or invasion.
DESIGN.—: In 3 health care systems we identified specimens of NA and UC intimately intermixed with each other to the extent that they could mimic a spectrum of one lesion. We assessed patterns of NA and clinical implications of misdiagnosing NA as glandular differentiation of UC.
RESULTS.—: There were 4 women and 29 men (median age, 72 years; range, 31-89 years). Twenty-four patients had transurethral resections, 3 had biopsies, and 6 had major resections. Fourteen had noninvasive high-grade papillary UC, 6 had carcinoma in situ, and 11 had invasive high-grade UC. In 2 patients, NA developed in a papillary urothelial neoplasm with extensive denudation. Three patients had fibromyxoid NA infiltrated by invasive UC. Classical NA (n = 30) had tubulopapillary (n = 18), pure tubular (n = 7), or pure papillary architecture (n = 5). In 1 lesion, NA was present in muscularis propria, and 2 lesions involved adventitia. NA could have been misdiagnosed as invasion in 17 of 22 (77%) noninvasive tumors or higher stage in 19 of 33 (58%).
CONCLUSIONS.—: NA can be intermingled with high-grade UC, expanding the spectrum of entities that must be considered in the differential diagnosis, as it may mimic glandular or tubular differentiation, invasion, and a higher stage of disease. Misinterpretation of NA in such a setting may incorrectly convey a more aggressive biological potential of cancer to clinicians.
