| Synonyms | metastasis to urinary bladder |
| LM DDx | urothelial carcinoma with unusual features, primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder, direct extension of non-bladder primary tumour in bladder (e.g. prostate, rectum, urachal carcinoma) |
| IHC | GATA3 -ve/+ve (commonly +ve in breast), beta-catenin +ve/-ve (nuclear staining - suggests colorectal primary), prostate markers (e.g. PSA, PSAP, NKX3.1) +ve/-ve (+ve suggests prostate primary), PAX8 +ve/-ve (+ve suggests gyne tract or RCC) |
| Site | urinary bladder |

| Clinical history | +/-history of cancer |
| Symptoms | hematuria (typical) |
| Prevalence | rare as primary presentation (case reports) |
| Endoscopy | bladder tumour |
| Prognosis | poor |
| Clin. DDx | primary bladder cancer |
| Treatment | dependent on primary site |
Urinary bladder metastasis, also metastasis to the bladder, is cancer that has spread to the urinary bladder from another primary site and is discontinuous with the primary tumour.
General
- Rare - mostly case reports.
- Renal cell carcinoma ~ series of 11 cases.[1]
- Breast primary - small series[2] and case reports.[3][4]
A 2007 review of the literature found:[5]
- 264 reported cases from 1953 to June 2005 - most from GU tract and the colorectum.
- Distant site includes breast, stomach and melanoma.
Microscopic
Features:
- Dependent on the primary site.
DDx:
- Urothelial carcinoma with unusual features.
- Primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder.
- Urachal carcinoma.
- Direct extension of primary tumour from other primary site, e.g. prostate, rectum.
