AI Article Synopsis
- Bladder cancer typically spreads to common areas like lymph nodes, lungs, bones, and adrenal glands, but very rarely affects skeletal muscle.
- A 62-year-old man experienced pain and swelling in his right leg and had trouble walking, which led to the discovery of metastasis in his adductor longus muscle three months after his bladder cancer diagnosis.
- The report includes a review of existing literature on this uncommon type of metastasis, highlighting its rarity compared to more typical spread patterns.
Article Abstract
Bladder cancer most commonly spreads to the lymph nodes, lungs, bones and adrenal glands. Metastasis of bladder cancer to the skeletal muscle is extremely rare, as is the case in other malignancies. We report a case of a 62-year-old male patient who presented with pain and swelling in the right lower extremity and had difficulty walking, and who was later found to have metastasis in the adductor longus muscle 3 months after the initial diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The study also provides a review of the current literature.
