title: [Brain metastasis of a cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 69-year-old woman with a brain metastasis from a cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma. The initial lesion was situated on the leg. No other secondary lesion was found. The cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma was initially considered to be a locally malignant tumor. In fact, it is frequently complicated by metastases. However, brain secondaries remain rare.
