[Bladder metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma]

We report on a patient with renal adenocarcinoma that subsequently metastasized to the bladder. Although involvement of any organ in this area can lead to secondary invasion of the bladder wall, hematuria presenting in a patient previously submitted to nephrectomy due to hypernephroma should prompt us to strongly suspect tumor spread to the bladder. The forms of metastatic spread and treatment are discussed. Good results were achieved in our patient who, with a follow-up of 1.5 years, has had no tumor recurrence.
