Abstract
-
Metastases to the skin from bladder carcinoma are very the rare and rate is 1 to 2% of the cutaneous metastases. A 61-year-old man presented with 4 months history of well demarcated erythematous eroded nodules on the both inguinal areas which developed 3 years later after the diagnosis of carcinoma of the urinary bladder had been made. Histological examination of the skin lesion revealed atypical cells having hyperchromatic and pleomorphic nuclei which were similar to those of the urinary bladder. We report herein a case of cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma of the urinary bladder in a 61-year-old man.
