title: Multiple metachronous brain metastases from primary ureteral carcinoma.
abstract: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ureter is an uncommon urologic malignancy, with approximately 150 cases diagnosed annually. Metastatic brain disease from ureteral TCC is exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, our case report represents only the second report of brain metastasis from ureteral TCC and the only reported patient to undergo resection of their TCC brain metastasis.
