Hemorrhagic Brain Metastases as a Diagnosis of Exclusion: A Diagnostic Dilemma
We have read with great interest the study published in The American Journal of Medicine by Juan et  al.1 The authors presented a patient with symptoms of left hemiparesis and left facial palsy for whom computed tomography of the brain showed a single hemorrhagic lesion in the right basal ganglia. They also reported that the patient had a medical history of adenocarcinoma of the lung and hyperten sion. They presented a diagnostic dilemma, with hemorrhagic stroke or hemorrhagic brain metastasis as the cause of the hemorrhagic lesion.

Pointing to the diagnosis: hemorrhagic brain metastasis
The patient ’s symptoms and initial imaging results directed the original diagnosis towards hemorrhagic stroke, but this conclusion proved incorrect. A 65-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of dull headache, nausea, and vomiting. His medical history was significant for long-term hypertension and sta ge 1B lung adenocarcinoma. He had undergone lobectomy 6 months earlier.
