[Multiple calcified cerebral metastases revealing bronchial adenocarcinoma. Apropos of a case].
Calcified brain metastases are rare. They are unique or multiple. The primary site is lung, breast, gastro-intestinal tract, uterine cervix, bone or may be unidentified. It corresponds pathologically to an adenocarcinoma, a sarcoma or to a squamous cell carcinoma. We report a case of multiple calcified brain metastases discovered before primary tumour (bronchial adenocarcinoma), raising the problem of differential diagnosis resolved by stereotaxic brain biopsy.
