Hemorrhagic intracranial metastases classically originate from:
- melanoma
- renal cell carcinoma
- choriocarcinoma
- thyroid carcinoma: papillary carcinoma of thyroid has highest rate of hemorrhage
- lung carcinoma: given the sheer number of cases, even though atypical for these primaries they are none the less common
- breast carcinoma: as for lung
- hepatocellular carcinoma
