Metastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary system presenting as a rare skin lesion indicates a poor prognosis. Early detection of recurrence and distant metastases is crucial for improving outcomes in these patients.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the upper urinary system are uncommon, accounting for 5% of all TCCs.
- Skin metastasis from upper urinary tract TCC is a rare event, with an incidence ranging from 0.18% to 2%.
- Survival rates following skin metastasis are generally unsatisfactory, highlighting the aggressive nature of this condition.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
