[Skin metastasis from invasive bladder tumour].
Metastatic spread of advanced transitional cell bladder carcinoma rarely involves the skin. However, the presence of a skin metastasis indicates at least microscopic dissemination of cancer cells to the liver or lung, corresponding to a poor prognosis. The authors report a new case of single skin metastasis during the course of a poorly differentiated stage pT3a N0 M0 transitional cell bladder carcinoma. The patient died 5 months after the appearance of the skin metastasis.
