Cerebellar metastases from epithelial ovarian carcinoma. A case report.
Central nervous system metastases are an unusual sequela of epithelial ovarian neoplasms, occurring in less than 1% of reported autopsy cases. A case of cerebellar metastatic disease occurred following combination chemotherapy and a negative second-look operation for a stage III poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the ovary. The single metastatic tumor was resectable, and the patient had resolution of her symptoms following surgery. This is the fourth report of an epithelial ovarian carcinoma metastatic to the cerebellum.
