Simultaneous Prostate and Bladder Cancer with Collision Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Medicina (Kaunas). 2024 Sep 11;60(9):1482. doi: 10.3390/medicina60091482.

Abstract

Synchronous prostatic adenocarcinoma found in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that undergo radical cistoprostatectomy is not uncommon. Nonetheless, the occurrence of collision metastasis, where both prostate cancer and bladder cancer involve the same lymph node, is exceptionally uncommon, with few cases being reported in the literature. We present a case of a 65-year-old patient diagnosed with MIBC who underwent laparoscopic radical cistoprostatectomy with extended lymph node dissection and intracorporeal ileal conduit. The final pathology revealed urothelial carcinoma pT3bN1 as well as prostatic adenocarcinoma pT3bN1. One lymph node presented metastasis from both bladder cancer and prostate cancer.

Keywords: bladder cancer; collision metastasis; prostatic adenocarcinoma; urothelial carcinoma.
