Abstract
A 79-year-old woman underwent radical cystectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for urothelial carcinoma of bladder (high grade, pT3aN0M0). Six months later, a computed tomography scan revealed multiple lung metastases. Salvage treatment with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab was administered, and a complete response was achieved. Two years after surgery, however, a left adrenal mass appeared, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed significant solitary uptake in the left adrenal gland. She underwent left adrenalectomy and histological findings revealed that the adrenal tumor was a metastatic urothelial carcinoma. No new lesion was observed over one year after surgery. Surgical resection should be considered in cases with solitary metastasis who responded systemic treatment.
