Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although direct skeletal muscle invasion by carcinoma is well recognized, distant metastasis to skeletal muscle is uncommon. Furthermore, multifocal skeletal muscle metastasis is a very exceptional event. Some factors such as variable intra-muscular blood flow, mechanical factors including turbulent blood flow and muscle contraction, intra-muscular acidic condition, lactic acid, protease inhibitors in the extra-cellular matrix were proposed as causes of the rarity of distant metastasis to skeletal muscle. We report here a case of a 67 year old male who had multifocal skeletal muscle metastasis from the transitional cell carcinoma of left kidney.
