Abstract

Cancer metastasis to the bladder from non-contiguous sites is very
rare. Lung metastasis to the bladder is even more uncommon, with
an extensive literature search identifying only four documented
cases in the past 20 years. Of these four cases, only one was
from lung adenocarcinoma. In this report, we present the case
of a 66-year-old male with known lung adenocarcinoma found
to have the incidental finding of a bladder mass upon computed
tomography imaging. Histochemical staining of samples from the
bladder confirmed metastatic dissemination from the primary lung
malignancy.
