Background: A few cases of brain metastasis from gynecological cancer have been reported. This tumor usually dissaminates via the blood stream, normally through surface implantation or lymphatic spread.
Purpose: We report four cases of brain metastases from gynecological cancer (2 from ovarian cancer and 2 from endometrial cancer).
Results: Several months later, three patients developed brain metastases without any other location elsewhere. For the other patient, brain metastasis was the first sign of her malignant disease.
Conclusions: In brain metastases from gynecological cancer, treatment should consist in surgical resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
