Abstract:
A 73-year-old woman with a spontaneous intracerebellar hemorrhage was seen and was found to have metastatic adenocarcinoma within a vascular malformation. There was no evidence of other metastatic disease. The association of these two lesions is uncommon and has rarely been reported. The rich vascularity of the malformation may explain the hematogenous deposition of metastatic neoplasm at this site.
