| description | We report an extremely rare case of small intestinal cancer metastasized to the urinary bladder, presenting a urologic symptom. A 41-year-old man first presented with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Based on the clinical diagnosis of jejunal cancer, he underwent a partial resection of the jejunum with lymph node dissection. The pathological diagnosis was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the jejunum, pT4N0. Seventeen months after surgery, he presented with a gross hematuria. Computed tomographic scan showed wall thickening of the posterior wall of the urinary bladder. No tumor was found in other organs or lymph nodes. Based on histological and immunohistochemical analysis, the diagnosis of urinary bladder metastasis from jejunal adenocarcinoma was made. This is the first report of urinary bladder metastasis from small intestinal cancer. Although very rare, the possibility of metastatic small intestinal cancer should be considered in differential diagnosis in patients with adenocarcinoma involving the urinary bladder. |
