Abstract

A rare case of brain metastasis from a transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder is presented. A 66-year-old female underwent total removal of a bladder carcinoma and postoperative radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Right hemiparesis and seizures developed about 16 months later, and a solitary brain metastasis was discovered in the left Rolandic area. The tumor was totally removed and microscopic examination showed it to be TCC.
