An unusual cause of irritable urinary bladder symptoms.
A metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma to a seminal vesicle is extremely rare. This pattern of metastatic disease has been reported once previously in the Japanese literature. We describe a patient with irritability symptoms of the urine bladder and involuntary loss of stool caused by obstruction of the bladder by a large metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma to the seminal vesicle. The mode of diagnosis and treatment of this patient are described.
