    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old woman presented with a coin-size lesion in the right lung. Bronchoalveolar lavage cytology showed class V. Thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy of right upper lobe was performed and pathologic finding was metastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). She had a history of superficial bladder tumors which were treated with transurethral resection (TURBT). All pathologic findings demonstrated low grade superficial TCC. After the pneumonectomy, recurrent tumors were detected in the bladder after three months' follow up. Intravesical instillations and TURBT were performed and the pathologic finding showed superficial TCC. There have been no signs of recurrence during the six-year follow up. The case reported here is of superficial cancer with a metastatic lesion in the lung without local invasion in the urinary bladder.
