Abstract
The urinary tract is an uncommon site of metastatic melanoma. Herein, we discuss a rare case of melanoma with metastatic involvement of the bladder and upper urinary tract and review its surgical management based on prognosis. We report the case of a 38-year-old male with biopsy-proven ureteral and bladder metastasis of cutaneous melanoma. The management of these metastases is challenging. Endoscopic treatments allowed to control local symptoms without associated serious adverse events. Radical surgical operations such as nephroureterectomy could be envisaged for completely resectable tumors in a patient responding well to systemic therapies.
