Abstract:
Metastasis of ovarian malignancy to the central nervous system (CNS) is still rare.
We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with brain metastasis of serous cyst adenocar-cinoma of the ovary as the primary site. Metastasis occurred when postoperative combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy were being given to the patient after complete surgical removal of ovarian tumors. A review of the literature is also made.
