title: [Metastatic bladder tumor from gastric carcinoma: a case report].
abstract: A 63-year-old man with a two-month history of nocturia and dysuria consulted his family doctor. As renal dysfunction and bilateral hydronephrosis were indicated, he was admitted to our hospital on November 28, 1988. Cystoscopy revealed a non-papillary and flat tumor from the ureteral orifice to the back wall of the bladder. A biopsy of the bladder wall revealed signet-ring cell carcinoma. A metastatic bladder tumor was suspected and laboratory tests of tumor markers showed a carcinoembryonic antigen value (CEA) of 1,000 ng/ml and CA19-9 of 12,210 U/ml. Upper gastrointestinal examination revealed carcinomatosis involving the stomach. A biopsy specimen of the stomach revealed the same pathological finding as the bladder wall. A metastatic bladder tumor was confirmed. The patient died of pulmonary emboli on December 11, 1988.
