In this study, we explored whether napsin A, a sensitive marker for lung adenocarcinoma, may also have a role in distinguishing nephrogenic adenoma from other genitourinary lesions. Immunohistochemically, napsin A was expressed in all 43 nephrogenic adenomas (bladder: 38, prostatic urethra: 4, and ureter: 1; mean positive tumor cells: 72%, median: 80%, range: 15-100%) and showed regional variability in its expression pattern with a bias toward surface architectures (flat, papillary) compared with stromal architectures (tubular/glandular, microcystic). We also compared napsin A with other markers including PAX8, GATA3, p63, and 34BE12. Although napsin A matched PAX8 in terms of its sensitivity for nephrogenic adenoma (100%), napsin A stained a lower percentage of tumor cells than PAX8 (72% vs 99%, respectively, P = 1.0 × 10-5). P63 was negative in all nephrogenic adenomas, whereas GATA3 showed variable staining in 25 cases (58%). All 43 nephrogenic adenomas showed variable 34BE12 staining. Finally, we profiled napsin A expression among 401 genitourinary tumors on tissue microarrays (n = 308) and full tissue blocks (N = 93) and observed napsin A positivity in 37 tumors (9%), which included urothelial carcinomas with the glandular/microcystic component differentiation (in the glandular/microcystic component in 4/6), bladder adenocarcinomas (primary: 4/4 and metastatic: 3/3), urinary tract clear-cell carcinomas (primary: 8/9, metastatic uterine primary: 1/1), and some renal tumors (17/174). All 81 pure urothelial carcinomas and 53 prostatic acinar adenocarcinomas were negative for napsin A. Our study indicates that napsin A is a highly sensitive marker for nephrogenic adenoma and can serve as a useful addition in immunohistochemical panels seeking to distinguish it from pure urothelial carcinoma and prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma but not clear-cell carcinoma or urothelial carcinoma with glandular differentiation."xsd:string
