[Long survival in a case of metastatic brain tumor].
A 45-year-old man was admitted after resection of a metastatic brain tumor (papillary adenomatous adenocarcinoma, well differentiated) for both therapy and a search for the primary and any other metastatic lesions. An extensive general examination revealed no evidence of malignant lesion except for fibrous change in the right lung apex by roentgenography and CT scan. Histological examination of the right upper lobe and group II lymph nodes revealed a scar cancer presenting the same histology but no evidence of metastasis. The patient, who received CAP and FVM alternately, is currently healthy with no recurrence after 4 years.
