BRAIN METASTASIS FROM GYNECOLOGICAL CANCE R

Background. A few cases of brain metastasis from gynecological cancer have been reported. This tumor usually dissaminates via the blood stre am, normally through surface implantation or lymphatic spread. Purpose . We report four cases of brain metastases from gynecological cancer ( 2 from ovarian cancer and 2 from endometrial cancer). Results. Several months later, three patients developed brain metastases without any o ther location elsewhere. For the other patient, brain metastasis was t he first sign of her malignant disease. Conclusions. In brain metastas es from gynecological cancer, treatment should consist in surgical res ection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
