Pak J Neuro Surg Jan ;18(2):132-8.

Aim: To describe our experience with Metastatic Carcinoma (CA) breast in posterior fossa.Materials and Methods: All patients who had history of Carcinoma (CA) breast and had posterior fossa space occupying lesion (SOL) were included in this study. Detailed history, examination and baseline investigations were done and patients were operated on list and are on regular follow up. The duration of study was 2 months and is an ongoing project.Results: Three patients were included in this study. All had previous history of mastectomy for Carcinoma (CA) breast. One had invasive ductal carcinoma, other had ductal carcinoma. Third one didn’t have her previous records with her. All patients presented with SOL in posterior fossa. 1st and 2nd patient had undifferentiated carcinoma and 3rd patient had metastatic differentiated carcinoma on biopsy of SOL brain. It is interesting to note that 1st and 2nd patients completed their chemotherapy and radio therapy while the 3rd patient didn’t consulted her surgeon after mastectomy for further treatment.Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for the long term management of patients with Carcinoma (CA) breast and they should be kept on regular follow-up for the rest of their lives.
