[Solitary skin metastasis from a bladder carcinoma].
Cutaneous metastases from urothelial carcinomas of the bladder are very rare. They are related to advanced stages of the disease and have poor prognosis with low survival rates. We report one case of cutaneous metastasis appearing after urological manipulation in a patient with bladder muscle invasive carcinoma, with other metastatic sites and poor response to treatment. The case is discussed and literature is reviewed.
