Abstract

The authors report a multifocal nephrogenic adenoma of urinary bladder in an 11-y-old girl. Nephrogenic adenomas occur almost exclusively in the urinary bladder in children and are rarely multifocal. Less than 30 cases of nephrogenic adenomas have been reported in children and very few of these are multifocal. This report aims at drawing attention to this rare entity in children.
