Perinephric and Ovarian Metastasis from Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Bladder: Case Report of a Rare Dismal Disease

Abstract

Background: Metastatic urothelial carcinoma bladder at the time of diagnosis is a rare entity with lymph nodes, bones, lung and liver as common metastatic sites. Sometimes metastasis can be seen in various atypical sites. Case Presentation: Unusual location of metastasis can be seen in perinephric region, renal fascia and ovaries as seen in the described case. Primary urothelial carcinoma of ovary needs to be differentiated from the metastasis. There are no standard lines of management and the treatment needs to be individualised. Prognosis of metastatic urothelial carcinoma remains fatal with a limited life expectancy. Conclusion: We present a case of metastatic urothelial carcinoma bladder with metastasis to perinephric region and ovaries with her course of treatment.
