Abstract:
We describe four patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma and cerebral metastases. Cerebral metastases are still an infrequent occurrence in this malignancy but, as treatment for ovarian cancer produces more long-term survivors, such uncommon patterns of spread may become more frequent. Part of a future successful cure for this disorder may require the recognition of the central nervous system as a potential sanctuary site for metastatic disease.
