Abstract

Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder's metastatic potential, particularly to distant sites like cervical lymph nodes, is rare but crucial for prognosis and treatment planning. Tailored patient care and exploring new therapeutic avenues are vital due to the scarcity of information on optimal management. A 59-year-old woman presented with haematuria and urinary symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastases. Imaging and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis and guided treatment decisions towards palliative chemoradiotherapy. Metastatic spread to cervical lymph nodes in bladder urothelial carcinoma is uncommon and indicates advanced disease with a poorer prognosis. Early diagnosis through evaluation of urinary symptoms is critical, emphasising the need for comprehensive assessment in high-risk patients. This case contributes to the limited literature on bladder urothelial carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis, underscoring the importance of recognising uncommon presentations for timely intervention and management optimisation.
