Abstract

Clear cell carcinoma of the bladder and urethra is very rare entity with its origin unclear. The typical location in the bladder neck and trogon tends to confirm that this neoplasm probably derives from a remnant of the mesonephric duct. But Mullerian remnants or metaplastic paraurethral elands may be the source of origin. We experienced a case of clear cell carcinoma of the bladder invading the posterior urethra occurring in a 68-year-old female treated by radical cystourethrectomy and ileal conduit diversion and 16 month later. we found a hard, fixed, palpable metastatic nodule in the left neck area. Herein we report a metastatic case of clear cell carcinoma or the bladder invading the posterior urethra with review of the literature.
