N2  - Multiple ring-enhancing lesions of the brain are one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities on neuroimaging. These can be caused by a variety of infectious, neoplastic, inflammatory or vascular diseases. Distinguishing non-neoplastic causes from neoplastic lesions is extremely important. This report describes a 39-year-old male patient, who underwent a surgical procedure with the initial diagnosis of multiple cerebral abscess or granuloma and was diagnosed with cerebral abscess after first surgical intervention. His clinical symptoms did not improve postoperatively, and lung carcinoma metastasis was detected after further investigations. Second surgical intervention also confirm final diagnosis. To correctly and completely diagnose patients with multiple intracranial lesions, advanced studies and adequate surgical intervention must be undertaken. It must be kept in minds that abscess and brain metastasis can be concomitant
