A transurethral resection of the tumor was followed by a radical cystoprostatectomy. Two months post-operatively, he was admitted to the hospital because of severe lumbar and leg pain and on the radiologic evaluation bone, right suprarenal, lung metastases and multiple abdominal lymphadenopathies were found. Meanwhile, a hyponatremia was observed and was corrected with water restriction.
