Abstract

Background. When lung cancer develops a solitary metastasis at the pontomedullary junction, due to surgical risk, the current oncologic treatment is radiosurgery and chemotherapy. Case Description. We describe a patient with a single intrinsic metastasis at the pons and medulla. Removal was successful, without complication. Conclusion. Surgery can provide excellent results, and in selected patients, it should be considered a first-line treatment in experienced hands.
