Skeletal Muscle Metastases from Urothelial Cell Carcinoma

Skeletal Muscle Metastases from Urothelial Cell Carcinoma

Hematogenous metastasis to skeletal muscle from urothelial carcinoma is extremely rare and metastatic disease to skeletal muscle tends to be found in people with advanced-stage neoplasm. We report in this paper a case of left sartorius muscle metastasis from urothelial cell carcinoma. A left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision was performed and revealed a high-grade papillary transiti...

Skeletal Muscle Metastases to the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis and Profundus from Urothelial Cell Carcinoma and Review of the Literature

Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) metastases to skeletal muscle are extremely rare and usually found in patients with advanced stage cancer. The most common sites of bladder cancer metastases are lymph nodes, lung, liver, and bones. Muscle is an unusual site of metastases from a distant primary cancer, due to several protective factors. We present a rare case of 76-year-old patient with metastase...

Skeletal Muscle Metastases as Initial Presentation of Gastric Carcinoma

BACKGROUND Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Skeletal muscle metastases from gastric carcinoma are rare. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 67-year-old man patient with skeletal muscle metastasis developing from gastric carcinoma. He had a painful swelling of the left thigh. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan with enhancement showed pulmonary thromboembo...

Duodenal Metastases From Renal Cell Carcinoma Presented With Melena: Review and Case Report

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to duodenum is very rare and only a few case reports are available in the literature. We here reported a patient with solitary duodenal metastasis presented with melena six years after right nephrectomy. The patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showing ulcerative mass at the second portion of duodenum and biopsy of this mass was consistent wit...
