- Abstract:
- Introduction: Metastatic disease of renal cell carcinoma usually occurs via the hematogenic or the lymphogenic pathway. Usual metastatic sites are lung, liver, bone, brain, and adrenal gland. Metastasis to the bladder is an extremely rare event. In the literature it has been well documented that complete resection of solitary and multifocal metastases, to the lung and the liver can prolong survival.Case report: We report the case of a solitary metastasis to the bladder 12 years after left-sided radical tumour nephrectomy. The patient presented with a mass in the bladder detected by routine ultrasound. Sonography of the right kidney was unremarkable. Cystoscopy revealed a solid tumour localised on the right side of the bladder. The tumour was completely removed by transurethral resection. Histological diagnosis was metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. After a follow-up of 13 months the patient is free of symptoms and recurrence in the bladder.Conclusion: Progression of renal cell carcinoma to metastatic disease may occur late after primary "curative" therapy and may involve untypical localisations such as the bladder. Complete resection of any resectable tumour should be performed.
