Abstract
Introduction: Renal cell cancers account for approximately 2–3% of all cancers. As the use of imaging methods has increased the incidence of these tumors that are often detected incidentally is increasing. Currently, more than 50% of kidney tumors are detected incidentally [1]. Renal cell cancer can metastasize to almost every organ. The lungs, bones, liver, adrenal glands and the brain are common sites of metastases.
Case Series: In our case report, we aimed to discuss metachronous bladder metastases detected during the follow-up of two cases that had undergone radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer in light of current literature information.
Conclusion: Renal cell cancer metastasizes to the bladder very rarely, and only a limited number of cases are reported in literature.

Keywords: Kidney tumors, Metastases, Renal cell cancer, Urine bladder
