Abstract
A case of solitary brain metastasis from a transitional carcinoma of t he bladder occuring 20 months after resection is presented. The patien t underwent gross total removal followed by external irradiation and i ntravenous chemotherapy. The tumor in this quite unusual occurrence ha d a very characteristic aspect, both operatively and at pathologic exa mination. We believe that these patients should be managed aggressivel y whenever possible.
