Nephrogenic adenoma of bladder after ibuprofen abuse

Urology. 2004 Nov;64(5):1030. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2004.06.050.

Abstract

Nephrogenic adenoma is an infrequent benign lesion of the urinary system that occurs in patients with a history of genitourinary surgery, stone disease, trauma, chronic urinary tract infection, or renal transplantation. We report the first case of nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder in a 53-year-old man with a 5-year history of ibuprofen abuse for chronic arthritis. We stress the importance of investigating the analgesic abuser for nephrogenic adenoma if microhematuria and/or irritative lower urinary tract symptoms are present.
