- Abstract
- Brain metastasis can form large cystic lesions, and its differentiation on the basis of imaging findings alone is difficult. A
36-year-old woman with headache visited emergency room. Two years ago, she was diagnosed as neurocysticercosis and
had taken anti-parasite medications. However, in the current visit, the sizes of intracranial cystic lesions increased. Brain
biopsy reported metastatic neuroendocrine tumor, and chest CT showed the primary site of the tumor. Cystic brain
metastasis should be considered in cases with cystic brain lesions. Key Words: Neurocysticercosis, Cystic metastasis, Neurogenic tumor
