| Summary: | Secondary bladder tumour is rare and most of the cases were direct extension of local tumour.
Distant tumour metastasis to the bladder is extremely rare. We report a case of isolated bladder
metastasis from gastric cancer after 2 years of sub-total gastrectomy. The patient presented with
gross haematuria and bladder growth was noted during diagnostic cystoscopy. Transurethral
resection of bladder tumour was performed and histopathology result confirmed the diagnosis of
metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma which is a similar subtype with the previous cancer in the
stomach. Radiological investigation confirmed the presence of bladder mass, but no peritoneal
dissemination was shown on the imaging. Thus, this particular presentation of isolated bladder
metastasis without peritoneal seedling was extremely rare. |
