Two patients with rare cases of calcified brain metastases are reported. The relatively benign clinical course and prolonged survival are stressed. The first patient had an adenocarcinoma of unknown origin with three calcified brain metastases. The patient underwent an incisional brain biopsy without radiotherapy and survived for 2 years and 9 months. The second patient had a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with a large, solitary brain metastasis. The brain tumor was calcified and remained stable without progression for at least 4 months before surgical resection.
报告了两例罕见的钙化性脑转移病例。强调了相对良性的临床病程和较长的生存期。首例患者患有来源不明的腺癌，伴有三处钙化性脑转移。该患者接受了脑切开活检，未进行放疗，存活了2年9个月。第二例患者患有肺鳞状细胞癌，伴有一个大的孤立性脑转移瘤。脑肿瘤已钙化，在手术切除前至少4个月保持稳定，无进展。
