A member asked:
Solitary brain metastasis is differential if got known primary metastasis. what does above mean? thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From a report?: I believe that the wording means the following: "Solitary brain metastasis is in the differential if got known primary--metastasis." This means: of the possible diagnoses based on what is seen on this scan, spread of cancer to one spot in the brain is a possibility. If there is a known source of cancer (such as breast or prostate) then the lesion in the brain has spread from the original cancer.
