Introduction:
Brain metastasis is rarely seen in gynecologic cancers. It is more rarely encountered in vulvar carcinoma.
Case History:
A 56-year-old postmenopausal women referred our gynecologic oncology unit for the treatment of locally advanced vulvar carcinoma. Twenty-five days after the operation she developed vertigo and nystagmus. Cranial MRI investigation revealed that she had multiple cerebellar metastasis.
Conclusion:
Brain metastasis might be seen in patient with vulvar carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of vulvar carcinoma which developed cerebellar metastasis.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
