Özet
Nephrogenic adenoma (NA), an example of non-neoplastic epithelial abnormalities, is a rare reactive lesion that is capable of mimicking a tumor on cystoscopic examination and found mostly in bladder and also structures lined with urothelium such as ureter and urethra. A diagnostic cystoscopy was performed on a 16-year-old male patient admitted to our emergency department with the complaint of passing blood in the urine for a week. Multiple papillary structures, largest one reaching 5 - 6 mm in diameter, with active hemorrhage were observed in posterior urethra upon cystoscopy. A transurethral resection was carried out. A diagnosis of NA was made as a result of histopathologic studies. The patient presented two weeks later, stating that the hematuria was not resolved. A second transurethral resection was carried out after active haemorrhagic lesions were observed in the posterior urethra during cystoscopy. The patient currently has no complaint of hematuria, and is being followed up. It should be kept in mind that nephrogenic adenomas located in urethra can be encountered during a cystoscopy in pediatric cases with hematuria. Cystoscopic examinations at regular intervals are thought to be effective in order to prevent local recurrence.
