Solitary Bladder Metastasis of Prostate Cancer Mimicking Bladder Submucosal Tumor: A Case Report

Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common causes of secondary cancer to the bladder. There have been few reports about distant metastasis to the bladder from primary prostate cancer, since secondary involvement of the urinary bladder in prostate cancer is most often by direct invasion. Metastatic prostate cancer to the bladder is often mistaken for other primary bladder tumors. Here, we report a case of solitary metastatic prostatic cancer to the bladder, which was previously misdiagnosed as a submucosal tumor of the bladder.
