We report a case of a patient who developed a single brain metastasis to the cerebellum 13 years after removal of a renal adenocarcinoma. The cerebellar metastasis was removed twice due to local recurrence one year after the first operation. The patient is alive and doing well 18 months after the second neurosurgical procedure. The metastasis was not associated with any other evidence of disease. Brain metastasis may present many years after removal of kidney adenocarcinoma and when not associated with other evidence of disease their operative treatment may carry a good prognosis.
