Metastatic bladder cancer showing diffuse thickening of the bladder wall is very rare. We report two cases of metastatic bladder cancer arising from a stomach cancer and acute lymphocytic leukemia. Hydronephrosis and diffuse thickening of the bladder wall were revealed by ultrasonography and computed tomography. Transurethral biopsy and percutaneous whole wall needle biopsy of the bladder were useful for diagnosis. The possibility of metastasis or recurrence of prior and other malignancies should therefore be considered when the clinical features described here are encountered.
表现为膀胱壁弥漫性增厚的转移性膀胱癌非常罕见。我们报告了两例分别源于胃癌和急性淋巴细胞白血病的转移性膀胱癌病例。超声检查和计算机断层扫描显示有肾积水和膀胱壁弥漫性增厚。经尿道膀胱活检和经皮膀胱全壁穿刺活检对诊断很有用。因此,当遇到此处描述的临床特征时,应考虑先前及其他恶性肿瘤转移或复发的可能性。
