Abstract: Apocrine Cell Carcinoma (ACC) is an extremely rare malignant tumor, that manifests by nipple-like plaques or asymptomatic nodules. Are slowly progressive growth lesions, but may be locally aggressive and metastases occur, which affects the prognosis. Due to the rarity of this clinical entity, there are naturally very few reported cases of metastasis, especially in the brain. The authors propose to describe a case of a female patient with ACC brain metastasis at the left parieto-occipital lobe surgically treated. That is the second case in the literature of ACC brain metastasis operated and the first case operated, of ACC brain metastasis that comes from a primary axillary tumor. The authors considered that there was an advantage in the recovery of neurological deficits to allow survival, longer than 1 year.
