Breast cancer metastases to the central nervous system (CNS) include the clinically distinct situations of multiple brain metastases (78%), solitary brain metastasis (14%), and leptomeningeal metastases (8%). CNS metastases reported till now in 10%16% of stage IV patients (pts.) while in ~30% of pts. in autopsy series.
