A Rare Case of Chin Cutaneous Metastasis from Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Bladder in a Patient who Underwent Radical Cystectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 66-year old Caucasian man underwent radical cystectomy for transitional muscle-invasive cell cancer of bladder with orthotopic neobladder reconstruction. We made the diagnosis of cancer through a TURB performed around one month before. It showed a transitional cell cancer (TCC) of bladder, high grade (WHO 2004) G2-G3 (WHO 1973). The patient was asymptomatic and he had a good performance status. Histological examination after radical cystectomy reported a TCC muscle-invasive, high grade (WHO 2004), G3 (WHO 1973), mainly localised in right bladder wall (Figure 1). The cancer infiltrates all the bladder wall thickness. Microscopically, it reaches the perivesical fat tissue (pT3a) with images of perineural neoplastic permeation. The remaining mucosa was affected by CIS (carcinoma in situ). All the lymph nodes were negative for metastasis (pN0).

متن کاملMetastasis to the ovaries from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and renal pelvis: a report of two cases.
Ovarian metastases from a primary urinary tract carcinoma are extremely rare. This can be difficult to distinguish from transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of ovarian origin because of histologic similarity. A 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with renal pelvis TCC 4 months prior was referred for evaluation of a left ovarian mass. A 47-year-old woman who underwent radical cystectomy due to bla...
