Lung Metastasis of Ta Bladder Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 66-year-old man with a history of multiple transurethral resections for recurrent bladder tumors, staged as Ta according to the International Union Against Cancer staging guidelines, presented with a complaint of dry cough. A round nodule with a diameter of 7.5 cm was detected in the lung by chest computed tomography, and a video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy was performed. Pulmonary metastasis of recurrent bladder cancer was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry staining for the urothelium-specific protein uroplakin Ia. Subsequently, 2 cycles of systemic chemotherapy were administered. Two and a half years after treatment, no recurrence of pulmonary lesions has been detected. A combination of complete resection of pulmonary lesions and systemic chemotherapy may result in a good prognosis for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Renal cell carcinoma comprises about 2% of adult tumors. The overall 10-year survival rate of patients with RCC after nephrectomy is about 18-27%. The incidence of metastasis of initial RCC is about 24-28%, but this rate after nephrectomy is as high as 51%. The most common site of recurrence is the lung, however liver and bone metastases are common.There are many reported cases with late metast...

Introduction: Transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the upper urinary tract constitute only 7% of urothelial carcinomas. The majority of upper urinary tract TCC arises from the renal pelvis, followed by the ureter. The majority of the patients are presented with microscopic or macroscopic haematuria, flank pain, or symptoms due to metastasis; however, it can be asymptomatic in 10-15%. Case pre...
