Abstract :
Cutaneous metastases from primary genitourinary malignancies are rare and, like all metastases,have a poor prognosis. Very few cases of skin metastases from urothelial carcinoma have been reported in the past and most of them were treated with chemotherapy. Here we present a case of cutaneous metastases from a primary bladder transitional cell carcinoma who was admitted to our clinic with pain and bleeding of the lesion on the dorsum of the hand which did not respond to chemotherapy and was treated with palliative radiotherapy.
