Abstract:
Solitary and early brain metastases from colon carcinoma are unusual. This possibility must be kept in mind, in patients with cerebral metastasis of unknown adenocarcinoma. These patients could benefit from colonoscopy and CEA studies with the aim of achieving more early diagnosis and surgical resection. The case of a 48-year-old woman with brain metastasis diagnosed 4 months before the primary tumor, a colon cancer, is reported.
