Abstract
Objective: To present an extremely rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter with cutaneous metastases. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A case is presented involving a 67-year-old woman presenting with a clinical history of squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter and who had undergone a nephro-ureterectomy with a bladder cuff excision in May 2004. The pathologic report showed squamous differentiation, as well as keratin pearl formation. A large regional cutaneous lesion on the chest wall was found in January 2006, and a biopsy showed metastatic malignant urothelial tumors consisting of squamous cell carcinomas. Conclusion: This report describes a case of cutaneous metastasis from a squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter that is extremely rare with a generally dismal prognosis.
