In a 57-year-old female with a metastatic renal cell carcinoma lung metastases decreased after nephrectomy. Simultaneously, she developed a 3 cm large brain metastases with clinical signs of hemiparesis. Palliation treatment consisted of a 6-week course of oral Dexamethasone. One year later the lung and brain metastases had regressed completely as evidenced by chest X-ray and cerebral computer tomography. The role of corticosteroid treatment for the spontaneous regression is discussed.
一名57岁女性，转移性肾细胞癌，肾切除术后肺转移灶减少。同时，她出现了一个3厘米大的脑转移灶，伴有偏瘫的临床症状。姑息治疗包括为期6周的口服地塞米松疗程。一年后，胸部X线和脑部计算机断层扫描显示肺和脑转移灶已完全消退。本文讨论了皮质类固醇治疗在自发消退中的作用。
