The patient had a history of thoracic surgery for lung cancer (T1NM0) 4 years earlier. MR imaging for brain check-up revealed a small enhanced lesion in the left insular cortex. Serial MR imaging showed slow enlargement of the lesion. The patient underwent left frontotemporal craniotomy with total removal of the tumor under a navigation system, photodynamic diagnosis and motor evoked potential monitoring. The histopathological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma, which was consistent with the primary lung cancer. The patient was doing well 8 years after the operation. The possibility of metastatic brain tumor should be considered during the follow-up after thoracic surgery even in an early stage of lung cancer and even when the tumor is localized in the cerebral cortex., Article, 信州医学雑誌 60(4): 205-209(2012)}, pages = {205--209}, title = {増殖速度が極めて低く術前診断に苦慮した島皮質転移性脳腫瘍の1例}, volume = {60}, year = {2012} }
