To the best of our knowledge, brain metastasis from lung MEC is rare and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of this lesion have not been documented. CASE DESCRIPTION We herein report the case of a 72-year-old male. MRI revealed a left parietal tumor showing ring enh...
متن کاملCalcified brain metastasis of breast cancer.
