[A case of metastatic urinary bladder tumor from a gastric remnant carcinoma].
We report a case of a metastatic urinary bladder tumor from gastric remnant carcinoma. On August 23, 1984, a 70-year-old-woman visited us with the complaint of dysuria. She had undergone gastrectomy for gastric ulcer 25 years earlier. Cystoscopy revealed a non-stalk tumor in the dome of the bladder and the examination of the upper gastro-intestinal tract revealed gastric remnant carcinoma. We treated her with adriamycin, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum and mitomycin C but unfortunately she died of cachexia two weeks later. An autopsy revealed that the urinary bladder tumor was a signet ring cell carcinoma, metastasized from gastric remnant carcinoma.
