Bladder metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare phenomenon. Hereby, we report a case of a 52-year-old patient who presented with upper gastro-intestinal bleeding and ascites and was diagnosed with gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma. A CT scan revealed peritoneal infiltration and anterior parietal thickening of bladder wall. Cystoscopy showed three budding lesions of the anterior wall of the bladder. He had an endoscopic resection. Histology concluded that the bladder was infiltrated by a poorly differentiated carcinoma with independent cells consistent with a gastric origin. The patient was to be treated with palliative chemotherapy.
