Abstract:
Cutaneous metastasis from bladder cancer is very rare. A 48-year-old man presented with a 5 month history of a dome-shaped nodule on his scalp. Histopathologic examination of the skin lesion revealed the proliferation of atypical cells, which were similar to those of urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. We herein report on a case of cutaneous metastasis from urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder with a review of the Korean literature.
