A 73-year-old male with a history of transitional bladder carcinoma (T1N0M0) treated by TUR and bladder instillations with BCG and mitomycin in 2007 and 2009 presented in 2011 with a respiratory infection and was diagnosed with lung (FNA puncture +) and bone metastases. A month later, he developed an ulcerated lesion on the distal extremity of the left hallux, which was biopsied (Fig. 1). It was diagnosed as a cutaneous metastasis of urothelial carcinoma (Fig. 2). Given its rapid growth, the decision was made to perform a transmetatarsal amputation of the toe. The wound is currently completely healed and the patient continues treatment with chemotherapy.
Diagnosis: cutaneous metastasis of transitional carcinoma.
