Metastatic tumors of the clitoris are extremely rare. We report a case of clitoral metastasis in a 75-year-old woman who was treated for transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis 2 years ago. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings are presented with a short review of the literature. To the best of our knowledge, clitoral metastasis originating from transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis has not been reported in the English language literature.

Article Synopsis
- Vulvar and vaginal melanomas (VVMs) are rare but serious types of cancer that don't have a lot of standard ways to predict their outcomes.
- A study looked at 79 cases of VVMs over about 26 months and found that certain factors, like tumour necrosis (when the tumor is dying), can indicate how likely a patient is to survive.
- Vaginal melanomas were found to have worse survival rates compared to other types like vulvar or clitoral melanomas, highlighting the need for different treatment plans based on where the cancer is located.

A 9-year-old, spayed female, mixed-breed dog was initially presented for evaluation of chronic dermatitis on the nasal planum, where a clitoral mass was discovered as an incidental finding during the exam. No further investigation of the clitoral mass was undertaken due to other significant dermal lesions and the lack of clinical significance of the mass at the time. However, ~1 month later, the dog was presented to the Emergency Service for bleeding from the vulva.
