BACKGROUND: Brain @entity3 from primary @entity213 ( @entity213 ) is infrequent and probably under-reported thereby leading to paucity of information. METHODS: Archives of two institutes in India were studied from 2005 to 2013 and relevant information regarding @entity1 demographics, treatment details, and follow-up was obtained for @entity1 having brain @entity3 (BM) from @entity213 . Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 (IBM Corporation, NY, USA). RESULTS: @entity3 to the brain was detected in 17 @entity1 with an @entity213 primary. The median age for diagnosis of index primary was 55 years (range (R) - 32-71 years) with 88% (15/17) being male. Oral cavity was the most common site of @entity66 with 35% (6/17) followed by larynx (24%), oropharynx (18%), and hypopharynx (18%). The median stage at presentation was @entity3480 (47%) and two (12%) were metastatic to the brain at presentation. @entity1082 analysis was not available for any of the @entity1 . @entity16 were complained of in 94% @entity1 . The median BM-free-interval was 15 months (R - 1-67 months, SE    5.2). While 88% had multiple brain metastases, 82% also had extracranial @entity3 and in 53% of @entity1 , the index primary was not controlled. The median overall survival of all @entity1 after the development of BM was 2 months (R - 0.5-6 months, SE    0.4). CONCLUSION: BM in @entity213 is mostly multiple, associated with extracranial @entity3 and can occur in @entity1 without locoregional relapse or @entity66 and carries a dismal outcome.
