Abstract

Brain metastasis (BM) in patients with non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is usually associated with a poor prognosis. A 55‑year‑old Japanese man visited Tokyo Dental College Ichikawa General Hospital with complaints of motor aphasia and fatigue. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed multiple tumors. The patient's medical history included lung cancer surgery performed at another hospital 3 months prior to his visit to our hospital. Total resection of the left frontal tumor revealed BM from lung adenocarcinoma. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) was performed for the remaining three BMs. At 9 months after SRS, another new BM was discovered, and SRS was again performed. More than 13 years have elapsed since the last SRS was performed, and the patient has remained relapse‑free. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing a patient with NSCLC with multiple BMs who has remained relapse‑free for >13 years with no neurological dysfunction, including cognitive deficit.
