Based on the pelvic computed tomography (CT) (Figure 1), cystoscopy and biopsy findings (Figure 2), she was diagnosed as a primary urethral TCC.
Microphotograph of the urethral mass revealed typical features of TCC including ramifying papillae, high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and brisk mitotic activity (hematoxylin-eosin, x 200).

Based on the pelvic computed tomography (CT) (Figure 1), cystoscopy and biopsy findings (Figure 2), she was diagnosed as a primary urethral TCC.
Brain MR imaging showed multiple heterogeneously enhanced lesions. The largest lesion, seen in the right cerebellar hemisphere, was later surgically resected.

Majority of the lesions showed an internal hyperintensity on the T1-weighted MR due to hemorrhage and peritumoral edema as well (Figure 3).
Microphotograph of the brain mass revealed metastatic carcinoma with increased pleomorphism and mitotic activity which was nearly identical to the urethral mass (hematoxylin-eosin, x 200).

The pathological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of TCC (Figure 4).
