[Cerebral metastasis for the identification of carcinomas of the lung: the use of mulimodality medical images. A case repport]. / Metastase cerebrale revelatrice d'un carinome epidermoide pulmonaire: apport de l'imagerie multinodalite.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Diagnosis of carcinomas of unknown primary site has proved to be difficult for many reasons. PATIENT AND METHODS: In this study, case in which cerebral metastasis is confirmed by biopsy technique with no identified primary site at the onset of treatment is presented here in.
