We describe four patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma and cerebral metastases. Cerebral metastases are still an infrequent occurrence in this malignancy but, as treatment for ovarian cancer produces more long-term survivors, such uncommon patterns of spread may become more frequent. Part of a future successful cure for this disorder may require the recognition of the central nervous system as a potential sanctuary site for metastatic disease.
我们描述了4例上皮性卵巢癌伴脑转移的患者。脑转移在这种恶性肿瘤中仍然不常见，但是，随着卵巢癌治疗产生更多长期存活者，这种不常见的转移模式可能会变得更加频繁。未来成功治愈这种疾病的部分方法可能需要认识到中枢神经系统是转移性疾病的一个潜在庇护所。
