Breast cancer (BrC) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in woman and most BrC related deaths are due to metastasis. BrC frequently metastasizes to the lymph nodes, liver, lung, bone and brain while the urinary bladder is considered as an unusual site for breast metastasis. We report a case of bladder metastasis identified in a patient with past BrC history, presenting with hematuria, low urinary tract symptoms, and hydronephrosis.
