ABSTRACT = {Cutaneous metastases from urologic cancers are very 
uncommon, usually represent widespread metastatic 
disease and are associated with a very poor prognosis. 
They may occur in 1% of patients with urologic 
malignancies, most commonly from kidney, followed by 
bladder and prostate tumors. In this report, we describe 
a case of urothelial carcinoma with metastases to the 
scrotum treated with platinum based chemotherapy with 
a durable complete response lasting more than 14 months. 
Molecular profiling revealed deleterious mutations in 
e-cadherin and retinoblastoma genes, suggesting their 
possible role in the pathogenesis of cutaneous metastases. 
Further studies are needed to validate this observation.},
