Abstract: | A 65-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of a fast-growing and painful mass in his right antecubital fossa. He felt otherwise well. Four months earlier, he had undergone a radical cystectomy for transitional-cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder (grade 3, stage pT1). Two months after the cystectomy, at another hospital, he was diagnosed with, and treated for, a pseudoaneurysm in his right antecubital fossa. Duplex ultrasonography of the presenting lesion revealed a highly vascularised mass with no pseudoaneurysm. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis preceded a diagnosis of cutaneous metastatic TCC. Whole-body CT revealed widespread metastases. This is the first reported case of a highly vascularised cutaneous lesion being the presenting feature of metastatic bladder TCC. |
