Abstract

A 59-year-old man presented with persistent skin rash found to be cutaneous metastasis from micropapillary urothelial carcinoma status post right radical nephroureterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The skin metastasis appeared 2 months after postchemotherapy imaging demonstrated complete radiographic response. Cutaneous metastases from primary genitourinary malignancies are very rare clinical entities associated with poor prognosis. Cutaneous metastases do not have distinctive gross appearance and are often misdiagnosed as common dermatologic disorders. It is imperative that urologists have high index of suspicion for metastasis in patients with persistent skin rash in the setting of advanced genitourinary malignancies.
