A Renal Cell Carcinoma with Metastasis to the Urinary Bladder

Abstract

We report the case of a renal cell carcinoma with solitary metastasis to the urinary bladder, occurring 3 years after radical nephrectomy in a 68-year-old patient. The cystoscopy revealed a solid and rounded bladder lesion with a fine footstalk. Transurethral resection was performed and the pathological diagnosis was of eosinophil cell and clear cell carcinoma. The patient also presented secondary lesions in under- and upper-diaphragmatic lymph node area, brain and lung; therefore, he received treatment with several systemic therapies (Sorafenib, Sutent, Everolimus, IFN-alpha, Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine).
