Choroidal and Cutaneous Metastasis from Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder after Radical Cystectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract EN

Bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary malignancy and has variable metastatic potential; however, choroidal and cutaneous metastases are extremely rare.

Generally, a patient with these uncommon metastases has a very poor prognosis.

We present a bladder cancer patient with a visual disorder in the right eye and multiple nodules on head and lower abdomen that developed 17 months after a radical cystectomy.

These symptoms were determined to be caused by choroidal and cutaneous metastasis of bladder cancer.

Although two cycles of combination chemotherapy were performed, the patient died 5 months after diagnosis of multiple metastases.
