Account for about 50% of all brain tumors
Commonly from lung, breast, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and GI tract
Present as well-demarcated masses with a surrounding zone of edema, most commonly at the gray and white matter junction
Solitary tumors may be removed surgically, but multiple masses are ominous and surgery (even radiation) is of little value
