title: Recurrent ureteric transitional cell carcinoma presenting as an isolated brain metastasis: incidental detection with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Brain metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ureter is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a 73-year-old woman, a follow-up case of ureteric TCC in whom isolated brain metastasis was incidentally detected at follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT. This was corroborated with MRI. She underwent excision of the lesion, and histopathology confirmed metastatic TCC.
