Abstract
We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with solitary metachronous metastasis to the urinary bladder occurring 6 years after radical nephrectomy. The patient was treated with partial cystectomy and survived for 60 months. Other cases like this one were reviewed in published reports, and the 3-year survival rate for patients with this type of cancer with solitary metastasis to the urinary bladder was found to be 80%. The follow-up duration of our case was the longest in the published studies. We suggest that urinary bladder metastasis of renal cell carcinoma should be resected because no effective treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is available. A good prognosis may be expected, especially in patients with solitary metastasis to the urinary bladder.
