Pathophysiologically, the disease is defined by primary malignant cells invading deep muscular layers and disseminating through vascular or lymphatic channels to distant anatomical sites, commonly including non-regional lymph nodes, the lungs, liver, and bones Clinically, it presents with hematuria, flank or pelvic pain, and systemic manifestations corresponding to the burden and distribution of secondary metastatic lesions
