Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a cystic lesion in the left temporo-occipital region with an enhancing mural nodule [Figure 1]a. She underwent excision of the lesion and the histopathological examination was suggestive of metastatic breast carcinoma [Figure 1]b-e. A fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the nodules revealed highly cellular smears that showed a monotonous population of epithelial cells in cohesive clusters as well as lying singly [Figure 3].
