Metastases of advanced gastrointestinal malignancy to the bladder is a rare phenomenon. Few such cases have been reported. Here, we describe the case of a man with recurrent local gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma who presented with acute kidney injury and bilateral ureteral obstruction ultimately found to have de novo metastatic esophageal disease in the urinary bladder.
