Özet
A patient with brain metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is presented. This patient had multiple intracranial metastases. The disease progressed very aggressively despite systemic chemotherapy and he died in a very short time. In a review of the literature it is noticed that the incidence of brain metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder has increased recently. This is probably because of the current complicated therapeutic approach to bladder carcinoma, including radical surgery and combination chemotherapy for high stage disease.
