Abstract:Metastatic disease to the calvaria with invasive dural venous sinus extension presents unique diagnostic and management challenges in cancer patients. Treatment options are not standardized. We report a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with breast cancer calvarial metastasis and upper sagittal sinus extension, and in whom a complete resection of the lesion was performed. Surgery may be helpful in selected cancer patients for symptomatic relief as well as survival benefits.
