[Cerebral metastasis for the identification of carcinomas of the lung: the use of mulimodality medical images. A case repport].
BACKGROUND
Diagnosis of carcinomas of unknown primary site has proved to be difficult for many reasons.


METHODS
In this study, case in which cerebral metastasis is confirmed by biopsy technique with no identified primary site at the onset of treatment is presented here in.


RESULTS
The multimolity medical images was used to detect pulmonary hearths compatibles with a malignant histology. Further analysis diagnosed a primitive neoplasm.


CONCLUSIONS
This study illustrates the interest of this technology in medical imagery in the early detection of primitive cancers on which the forecast depends.
