Abstract:
In the United States in 2015, an estimated 74,000 new cases of bladder cancer were diagnosed and approximately 16,000 deaths were due to bladder cancer. We present a rare case of a patient with aggressive bladder cancer who presented with multiple inguinal and scrotal skin lesions that were proven to be metastatic urothelial malignancy. Bladder malignancy can involve the skin by direct tumor invasion, hematogenous routes, lymphatic spread, and direct seeding due to iatrogenic implantation. The cutaneous lesions have an extremely variable appearance, are resistant to therapies, and signify a dismal prognosis.

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...
