By immunohistochemical staining, nephrogenic adenoma is positive for PAX-2, PAX-8, P504S (α-methylacyl-CoA racemase), pan cytokeratin AE1/AE3, CK7, CAM5.2, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), CD10, and napsin A. Occasionally the lesions are incidentally encountered in the prostatic urethra, which may lead to a misdiagnosis as prostatic adenocarcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma or urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. This evidence concerns the gene MUC1 and clear cell adenocarcinoma.
