title: Brain metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Brain metastases of prostate adenocarcinoma are rare. We report a case of brain metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma 15 months after the diagnosis of the primary tumour. The patient had headache and one solitary metastasis upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The biopsy performed showed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. He was treated with surgery and cranial irradiation.
