Abstract

There is little information about the dural metastasis of malign neoplasms in the literature. The exact ethiopathogenesis and treatmentstrategies are contraversial. The most common site for breast cancer metastasis is dura matter. Forty one years old female patient admitted to our clinic with headache and left parietal swellingcomplaints. The patient was operated due to infiltrative ductal cancer three years ago. A left parietal calvarial and dural metastasis determined and surgically resected via left parietal craniotomy. The patient underwent whole brain radiotherapy after this operation. In this report we present an unusual case of cancer metastasis to the skull and dura and discuss the main features of this disease.
