[Metastatic brain tumor after chemotherapy of ovarian cancer]

A case of brain metastasis in ovarian cancer is reported. Recently cis platin-containing combination chemotherapeutic regimens have improved the prognosis of patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma. Metastasis to the brain in ovarian cancer is very rare. However, the incidence of cerebral metastasis after chemotherapy for ovarian carcinoma seems to be increasing, and this may be related to prolonged survival due to chemotherapy. Thus, neurological examination after chemotherapy with cis platin is necessary to detect metastases to the brain.
