It commonly metastasizes to the liver, lung, and peritoneum, but only rarely to the bladder. We present a 41-year-old female with a history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, asthma, gastroeso...

Sumario:Pancreatic cancer is usually detected in late stages due to lack of identifiable symptoms and rapid progression. It commonly metastasizes to the liver, lung, and peritoneum, but only rarely to the bladder. We present a 41-year-old female with a history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, uterine fibroids, and tobacco use who presented with hematuria, polyuria, and abdominal pain. The CT showed bilateral hydroureteronephrosis with a hyperdense region in the posterior wall of the bladder. Pathology revealed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma to the bladder. This is the fourth reported case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the bladder since 1953.
