BackgroundLate brain metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is generally considered as metastasis occurring more than 10 years after nephrectomy, often occurs as a solitary lesion, and total resection is recommended to achieve remission.Case DescriptionWe describe a rare case of multiple late brain metastases from RCC in a 60-year-old man who presented with 3 brain metastases from RCC 22 years after nephrectomy. Total removal of the 3 lesions achieved remission without adjuvant therapy.ConclusionsTotal removal of late brain metastasis from RCC, even occurring with multiple lesions, can achieve total remission under specific conditions.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
