Bladder cancer constitutes the ninth most common cancer worldwide and approximately only 30% of cases are muscle invasive at initial diagnosis. Regional lymph nodes, bones, lung, and liver are the most common metastases from bladder cancer and generally from genitourinary malignancies. Muscles constitute a rare site of metastases from distant primary lesions even though they represent 50% of total body mass and receive a large blood flow. Skeletal muscles from urothelial carcinoma are very rare and up to date only few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a rare case of 51-year-old patient with metastases to sartorius muscle 8 months after the radical cystectomy performed for a muscle invasive bladder cancer.
膀胱癌是全球第九大常见癌症,初诊时约仅有30%的病例为肌层浸润性。区域淋巴结、骨骼、肺和肝脏是膀胱癌最常见的转移部位,通常也是泌尿生殖系统恶性肿瘤的转移部位。肌肉是远处原发灶罕见的转移部位,尽管肌肉占全身质量的50%且血流量大。尿路上皮癌转移至骨骼肌非常罕见,迄今为止文献中仅报道了少数病例。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名51岁患者在因肌层浸润性膀胱癌行根治性膀胱切除术后8个月,出现缝匠肌转移。
