Skeletal muscle metastases following cancer surgery are rare. Few cases of abdominal wall metastasis have been reported in the literature and attributed to tumor seeding after laparoscopic surgery or percutaneous nephrostomy. We report a case of abdominal tumor seeding after open nephroureterectomy managed by means of a surgical and medical approach.
