Breast Carcinoma In Presence Of Another Primary Malignancy Involving Urinary Bladder, A Rare Organ Combination

Abstract

More than one synchronous primary malignancies in anatomically distinct organs is a rare occurence. Here we attended a post operative case of synchronous breast carcinoma and urinary bladder carcinoma for review and further treatment. We examined the patient and found a surgical incision scar mark in right breast. Pre-operative CT scan of pelvic area showed a growth in urinary bladder which was diagnosed as urothelial carcinoma for which she was operated , stoma was seen at operated site. We examined histopathological sections from tumors of both breast and urinary bladder which the patient had with her.We confirmed the diagnosis of breast tumor as infiltrating ductal carcinoma and urinary bladder tumor as Papillary urothelial carcinoma.Planning of treatment in such situation poses a great challenge .
