[A case of inguinal lymph node metastasis and urethral remnant tumor arising eight years after cystourethrectomy for bladder cancer].
A 59-year-old man had undergone total cystourethrectomy for bladder cancer (TCC G2 > G3 pT1) in July, 1991. Eight years later, he visited our department complaining of bleeding from external urethral meatus. Imaging study including computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a tumor arising from the urethral remnant and left inguinal lymph node involvement. Partial penectomy and left inguinal lymphadenectomy were performed. Histopathological examination revealed that both tumors were transitional cell carcinomas suggesting recurrence of bladder cancer. Two courses of M-VAC chemotherapy were given as adjuvant therapy.
