Case Reports[A case of survival for 50 months after resection of cerebellar metastasis of squamous cell lung carcinoma].
The patient was a 64-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the left lung, associated with intrapulmonary metastasis. Eleven months after lobectomy, a single metastasis occurred in the left cerebellum. ⋯ Fifty months after the resection, the patient is still alive without recurrence. Based on the present case, we consider that, in the case of single brain metastasis, surgical therapy is desirable because long-term survival can be expected with surgical resection even for a cerebellar metastasis.
