Abstract :
This report describes the case of a 56 year-old man with a history of diplopia. His
brain imaging showed multiple lesions with a metastatic appearance, however all
investigations to determine the primary source of malignancy were negative. The
patient underwent a brain biopsy, which was positive for anaplastic astrocytoma, a
rare tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of secondary brain
tumors.
