Primary bladder tumor is the most frequent malignant tumor in the field of urology, whereas the incidence of secondary bladder tumor from a distant organ is quite rare. We report here a 21-year-old female patient with metastatic bladder tumor from gastric cancer. She came to our hospital with a complaint of only bladder irritability. Cystoscopical and cytological examinations revealed rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder. She did not respond to radiation therapy and combined chemotherapy, consisting of actinomycin D, vincristine and cyclophosphamide, and died 91 days after admission. Autopsy revealed a primary tumor of poorly differentiated scirrhus carcinoma of the stomach. Thus this was a quite rare case of metastatic bladder carcinoma characterized by bladder irritability without gastrointestinal symptoms.
