Metastasis of Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Into the Thyroid Gland: A Literature Review Accompanied by a Rare Case

Abstract: Bladder cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the urinary tract. About 90% of bladder cancers are urothelial carcinomas. Seventy percent of cases newly diagnosed are superficial diseases; roughly 30% of newly diagnosed cases are muscle-invasive metastatic diseases. Bladder urothelial carcinoma primarily metastasizes into regional lymph nodes and then into liver, lung, mediastinum, bone, and adrenal gland. In our case, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer metastasized into the bone, mediastinum, iliac lymph … Show more

“…The patient experienced chest pain following transurethral resection of the bladder, multiple metastases were discovered during PET/CT, rib biopsy, and FNA of thyroid nodules confirmed the presence of urothelial metastases, but no further treatment was given, and the patient passed away 6 months later. The first instance of bladder urothelial carcinoma spreading to the thyroid gland was proposed in 2014 ( 7 ). The second case, which initially discovered thyroid nodules, was proposed in 2016; subtotal thyroidectomy was performed, and postoperative pathological results suggested undifferentiated carcinoma of the thyroid gland.…”
