Bladder involvement in metastatic breast carcinoma.

The literature concerning the uncommon findings of bladder involvement of breast carcinoma is suggestive of a recent increase in reported cases. We report on 3 additional women with vesical deposits of metastatic breast carcinoma. The clinical presentation and dire significance of such cases, and their relationship to progesterone and estrogen receptor expression are discussed. We also postulate on the possible increase in the numbers of reported cases.
