ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is the second most common cause pf brain metastasis. Although patient prognosis is poor, isolated brain metastasis occasionally can be an option for treatment with curative intent in breast cancer patients. We report a patient with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast who developed an isolated right frontal lobe metastasis within 5 months of finishing her breast cancer treatment. Despite aggressive course of primary disease the metastasis was successfully controlled by surgical excision and adjuvant whole brain radiation therapy. The patient is now quiet well and disease free approximately six years after treatment of brain metastasis. A small subgroup of brain metastasis with breast primary can have a considerable survival with adequate local treatment
