A Case of Extravesical Metastases Occurring after Transurethral Resection of Non-Invasive Bladder Cancer

ABSTRACT

A transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the primary treatment modality for bladder cancer. The common complications of TURBT include urinary tract infections, a hemorrhage requiring transfusion, and bladder perforation. Extravesical metastasis and intraperitoneal seeding of tumor cells following TURBT are very rarely reported. This report reviews a case of extravesical metastasis occurring after a repeated TURBT of non-invasive bladder cancer.
