ABSTRACT
Bladder cancer is a common cancer that may present as superfi cial, invasive, or metastatic disease. Non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) represents the majority of bladder cancer diagnoses, but represents a spectrum of disease with a variable clinical course, notably for signifi cant risk of recurrence and potential for progression. NMIBC metastasis to distant organs without local invasion or regional metastasis is a very rare occurrence, so there are limited case reports about early metastasis in the literature.
