Article Abstract
Lung carcinoma with metastases to the brain typically involves the cerebral hemispheres, occasionally the cerebellum and rarely the brainstem. This report presents the case of a 73-year-old male who complained of neurological symptoms of left-sided limb weakness and was initially diagnosed with a high-grade glioma. With further radiological investigations, our patient was found to have primary bronchogenic carcinoma with metastasis to the brain. He underwent craniotomy with decompression of the mass and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. This case calls for the collaborative effort needed to diagnose brain metastases and the importance of histopathology for confirmation of the same.
