Papillary adenoma of the prostatic urethra is a rare cause of hematuria, hemospermia and lower urinary tract obstruction, especially in young adults. We report two cases of papillary adenoma and their endoscopic views. One of the patients had a lesion located on the verumontanum and presented with hematuria, hemospermia and symptoms of lower urinary tract obstruction. The other patient had papillary lesions located in the paramontanal gutter and presented with persistent painless hematuria. The origin of both lesions was proven to be prostatic epithelial differentiation using immunohistochemical identification of prostate‐specific antigen. Papillary adenoma is believed to be benign, therefore, both lesions were carefully excised and fulgurated transurethrally.
