| Popis: | Although systemic metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder occur frequently, involvement of the central nervous system is uncommon. We describe a patient with an isolated cerebral metastasis who had previously undergone resection of a Grade III, Stage B2 carcinoma of the bladder. We have been able to find only one previous case report of a solitary intracerebral metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder without evidence of primary recurrence or additional sites of spread. Central nervous system metastasis from bladder carcinoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary intracerebral lesions. |
