AB - Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Because of the lack of specific clinical
symptoms, approximately 70% of women diagnosed with the disease have metastases beyond the regional
lymph nodes. The most common metastatic sites of ovarian cancer are peritoneum, liver and lung, while
brain metastasis that indicates a worse prognosis is rarely seen. This is a case report of a 73-year-old woman
who was initially diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer and developed brain metastasis 10 years later.
After surgical treatment and chemotherapy, the quality of life of the patient was significantly improved, and
the survival time was prolonged.
