A 72-year-old female was referred to our institution for further evaluation of right renal tumor detected during work-up for macroscopic hematuria in other hospital. CT urography performed at our institution suggested renal pelvic tumor. Voiding cytology was atypical. CT also revealed a small mass in the right mammary gland. Percutaneous needle biopsies were performed on the right mammary gland and renal mass, leading to a pathological diagnosis of UC with plasmacytoid subtype, suggesting metastasis from the renal pelvic UC to the mammary gland. She had a favorable response to four cycles of dose-dense MVAC therapy; therefore, we performed nephroureterectomy. One month after nephroureterectomy, new intraperitoneal metastatic lesions were observed and pembrolizumab therapy was started. After seven doses of pembrolizumab, CT revealed a marked size reduction of intraperitoneal metastases and the mammary metastasis remained small.
