Zusammenfassung:Urothelial or transitional cell carcinoma is the most prevalent variant of urinary bladder carcinoma worldwide occurring in both men and women. There are a very few cases described in the literature with metastasis to skeletal muscles and even fewer cases with metastatic site in the brain. We present a case of high-grade urothelial carcinoma with metastasis to the left temporal lobe as well as multiple inter- and intra-muscular deposits in the left thigh.
