Abstract

The case of a 57-year-old woman with a calcified metastatic brain tumor, histologically confirmed to be a squamous cell carcinoma, is reported. This patient is unusual because this metastatic squamous cell carcinoma contained an extraordinary huge conglomerated calcification, that was well-defined radiographically. This case is documented with a discussion of the pathogenesis of the calcification.
