Cutaneous metastasis of transitional cell bladder carcinoma: A rare presentation and literature review
Cutaneous metastasis from transitional cell bladder carcinoma is a rare
clinical entity associated with poor prognosis. We present a case of
cutaneous metastasis arising from a transitional cell bladder carcinoma
in a male patient who had undergone a radical cystectomy and bilateral
ureterostomy 17 months previously. The cutaneous metastasis became
evident 3 months before the manifestations of generalized recurrent
disease. An awareness of this rare clinical entity and high index of
suspicion is needed to rule out metastatic spread in patients with a
previous history of transitional cell bladder carcinoma presenting with
cutaneous nodules. Definitive diagnosis requires a histological
confirmation, but prognosis is generally poor
