Abstract: Abstract: Urethral metastasis of bladder cancer after surgery is rare. We present a 63-year-old man who had surgery for invasive bladder carcinoma and prostate adenocarcinoma 4 years ago and referred for urethral hemorrhage. 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed for restaging and showed intense linear 18 F-FDG activity in the proximal urethra. The patient underwent urethrectomy, and histopathology determined urethral metastasis.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
