Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) also known as urothelial carcinoma is the one of the most common primary tumor of the urinary tract. Entire length of the urinary tract can be involved, however the bladder involvement is by far the most common and is usually diagnosed at cystoscopy. Only 10% of the TCC is found in the upper tract. 1 Smoking and exposure to various industrial chemicals are known risk factors. Usually men are more affected with mean age of 60 years. Metastasis in the TCC is not unknown and may involve several regions including lymph nodes, liver, lungs, bones and adrenal glands. Rarely metastases into the brain, skin or spleen can also be encountered. Owing to poor prognosis in the metastatic TCC, it is of high concern to have a thorough knowledge regarding the spectrum and features of metastases in the patients of transitional cell carcinoma. In this pictorial essay, we have set forth various presentations of metastases and their imaging appearances presented in our Tertiary Care oncological setup.
