Solitary intracranial metastases from primary endometrioid ovarian cancer

Arch Gynecol Obstet. 1997;261(1):45-9. doi: 10.1007/s004040050197.

Abstract

A rare case of involvement of the Central Nervous System characterized by brain and subsequent cerebellar metastases without abdomino-pelvic spread is reported. The patient was treated by craniotomy plus external radiation to the brain. Subsequently, Carboplatin-based chemotherapy was started when paraaortic lymph-nodes involvement has been detected. Follow-up is uneventful after clinical complete remission.
