A case of a 66 years old female who had a nephrogenic adenoma recurring three times during a 6 months course of her illness is reported. With each recurrence, the lesion moved toward the urethral orifice, suggesting an intimate relationship between the recurrent process and physical stimuli to the mucosa. Electron microscopy revealed merely non‐specific morphological features of epithelial cells in the lesion. There were no positive morphological clues in the lesion for supporting the lesion to resemble mesonephric and/or mesodermal tissue. The diagnostic term of tubular metaplasia for the lesion is preferable instead of nephrogenic adenoma.
