Background: When lung cancer develops a solitary metastasis at the pontomedullary junction, due to surgical risk, the current oncologic treatment is radiosurgery and chemotherapy. Case Description: We describe a patient with a single intrinsic metastasis at the pons and medulla. Removal was successful, without complication. Conclusion: Surgery can provide excellent results and, in selected patients, it should be considered a first-line treatment in experienced hands.
