Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is metastatic at presentation in about 62% of cases, but brain metastases are rare, reported in 3.3-4% of patients. Brain metastasis seems to be more frequent in advanced stages at diagnosis and in patients with BRCA1/2 mutation. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 47-year-old Caucasian woman, BRCA wild type, with an ovarian cancer that started with single cerebellar metastasis. CONCLUSION: Brain metastases in ovarian cancer are rare and complex for diagnosis and management. This case focuses both on diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the importance of a multimodal approach in a multidisciplinary team.
