Nephrogenic adenoma associated with interstitial cystitis

A nephrogenic adenoma occurring in a forty-five-year-old male with a past history of urinary tract infection and interstitial cystitis is described. Four years after the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis, nephrogenic adenoma developed. The patient underwent a total cystoprostatectomy and urinary diversion for bilateral vesicoureteral reflux and progressive and incapacitating symptoms that persisted in spite of accepted standards of management for this disease. This case further supports the role of chronic inflammatory processes of the bladder in the subsequent development of nephrogenic adenoma.
