Abstract
This report is the first described case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder metastatic to the female breast. The patient is a 42βyearβold woman who underwent radical cystectomy three months prior to presentation with two asymptomatic right breast masses as the first evidence of widely metastatic bladder carcinoma. The mode of presentation is similar to that seen with other tumors metastatic to the breast and requires the clinician and pathologist to be able to distinguish this diagnosis from primary breast carcinoma.

A rare case of coexisting sarcoma and carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported and the literature is reviewed. Because of the differences in the histogenesis and prognosis, such cases should be differentiated from cases of carcinosarcoma of the urinary bladder.
