Abstract
A case of long-term survival with a solitary cerebellar metastasis from gastric cancer is reported. A 62-year-old man complaining of headache and a feeling of dizziness had undergone curative resection of gastric cancer three months earlier. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a mass lesion of about 3.0 cm in the left cerebellum. Computed tomography (CT) showed no other lesions. The patient underwent total tumor resection. The pathological diagnosis was metastatic gastric cancer. There was no recurrence of the tumor for more than ten years after the second operation. In the case of a solitary cerebellar metastasis of gastric cancer without other metastases, long-term survival can be expected with appropriate treatment.
