Sumario:Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare, benign lesion of the urinary tract that is induced by chronic irritation or injury to the urinary tract. Ureteral nephrogenic adenoma arising from both ureters is an exceptionally rare condition. We report an unusual case of a 73-year-old male who presented with a several-month history of recurrent UTI-like symptoms. Subsequent imaging showed bilateral hydronephrosis and ureteral wall thickening. A retrograde ureteroscopy revealed several papillary masses filling the lumens of both ureters. Ureteroscopic biopsies revealed NA in both ureters.
