AB  - Prostate cancer is rarely metastatic to visceral organs, and 
even less commonly to the brain. Recent data suggests 
brain metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma occur in 
0.16% of patients, and almost universally in the setting 
of very high-volume disease. We present a man with an abruptly symptomatic brain lesion that developed at a 
PSA value of 1.5 ng/mL with no other known metastatic 
disease and required emergent neurosurgical resection. 
The patient had been initially treated with radiotherapy 
for Grade Group 4 prostate cancer in 2005 with a long 
period of PSA suppression.
