Cephalic subcutaneous metastases from a urinary bladder carcinoma.

Abstract

We describe a papillary transitional cell carcinoma with subcutaneous metastases in the cephalic region in a 74-year old male patient who had been suffering from recurrent low grade bladder tumors for 7 years. Subcutaneous metastases from bladder carcinoma occur infrequently, and cephalic localization is even more unusual. The presentation, diagnosis and hospital course is given.
