This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Brain metastases are usually due to lung carcinoma, breast cancer and melanoma. The search to hospitals for neurological symptoms without prior knowledge of primary cancer is frequent.Objective:
Analyze the epidemiological profile of patients with brain metastases.Method:
This is a crosssectional study, with data collection from patients with brain metastases from the neurosurgery service, between 2010 and 2020.Results:
The sample consisted of 114 patients and the main primary sites were lung (39 %), non-determined site (25%) and melanoma (15%). Most (61%) were unaware of the primary cancer. The most affected site was the frontal lobe (32%), on the right side (41%), and most lesions were single (68%).Conclusion:
The epidemiological analysis corroborated most of the findings in the literature, with the primary pulmonary site and the discovery of metastasis before the primary cancer being the majority of cases.RESUMO
Introdução:
As metástases cerebrais são, geralmente, decorrentes de carcinoma pulmonar, mama e melanoma. A procura ao hospital por sintomas neurológicos sem o conhecimento prévio do câncer primário é frequente.Objetivos:
Analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com metástase cerebral.Método:
Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com coleta de dados dos pacientes com metástases cerebrais entre 2010 a 2020.Resultados:
A amostra foi de 114 pacientes e os principais sítios primários foram pulmão (39%), sítio não determinado (25%) e melanoma (15%). A maior parte (61%) desconhecia o câncer primário. O local mais acometido foi lobo frontal (32%), do lado direito (41%), e a maioria das lesões eram únicas (68%).Conclusão:
A análise epidemiológica corroborou com grande parte dos achados na literatura, sendo o sítio primário pulmonar e a descoberta da metástase antes do câncer primário a maioria dos casos.
