Solitary brain metastasis as only recurrence of a carcinoma of the bladder

Clin Neuropathol. 1994 Nov-Dec;13(6):338-40.

Abstract

A case of solitary brain metastasis from a transitional carcinoma of the bladder occurring 20 months after resection is presented. The patient underwent gross total removal followed by external irradiation and intravenous chemotherapy. The tumor in this quite unusual occurrence had a very characteristic aspect, both operatively and at pathologic examination. We believe that these patients should be managed aggressively whenever possible.
