ABSTRACT
Brain metastasis from primary ovarian cancer is rare. We report two patients diagnosed with FIGO stage IIIc ovarian carcinoma. After primary diagnosis, the two patients underwent six cycles of neoadjuvant paclitaxel plus carboplatin chemotherapy, followed by optimum debulking surgery and three additional cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Patient 1 developed several supratentorial lesions twenty months after initial diagnosis and subsequently was treated with intrathecal chemotherapy, cranial radiotherapy and intravenous chemotherapy. Patient 2 developed an isolated cerebellar metastasis ten months after initial diagnosis and subsequently was treated with surgical resection, cranial radiotherapy and intravenous chemotherapy.
