We report a rare case of uveal melanoma demonstrating simultaneous metastatic foci to the upper and lower urinary tract. A 60-year-old female with metastatic uveal melanoma was referred for incidental right hydronephrosis. Diagnostic cystoscopy and ureteroscopy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic malignant melanoma to the bladder and kidney. Both tumor resection and coagulation were possible with the combination neodymium/holmium laser. The goals of treatment in metastatic patients should be cessation of hematuria and relief of obstruction with preservation of functional renal reserve while minimizing morbidity.
