Summary

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder may metastasize to the intestines. This rare complication can occur after transurethral resection, leading to intestinal obstruction from metastatic cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Uro-oncology
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Transitional urothelial carcinoma is a common bladder cancer.
  • Transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) is a standard treatment.

Observation:

  • Two patients undergoing TURB for bladder cancer developed distant intestinal metastasis.
  • Complicated TURB with peritoneal perforation preceded metastasis.

Findings:

  • Metastatic transitional cell carcinoma caused intestinal obstruction in both patients.
  • Tumor cell seeding on the peritoneum is a potential mechanism.

Implications:

  • Highlights a rare but serious complication of TURB.
  • Suggests careful surgical technique to minimize peritoneal seeding risk.
