Metastasis

6.7K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
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...

Summary

Cavernous metastases, a rare complication of bladder cancer treatment, can manifest as penile induration. This case highlights the importance of considering metastasis in differential diagnosis, even with unusual presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Radical treatment for bladder tumors can lead to rare cavernous metastases, occurring in approximately 1% of cases.
  • Metastases typically appear a mean of 8 months post-surgery but can manifest even after 10 years.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old male smoker, post-cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer, presented with induratio penis plastica two months after surgery.
  • Initial suspicion included priapism and infectious gangrene, but clinical presentation suggested cavernous metastasis.

Findings:

  • Biopsy confirmed urothelial origin, diagnosing cavernous metastasis.
  • The patient initially refused biopsy twice before consenting on the third consultation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing rare metastatic sites following bladder cancer treatment.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of cavernous metastasis is crucial for appropriate patient management and treatment planning.
