摘要：

Background. Fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare gynecologic cancer. An extensive literature search reveals no previous case report of fallopian tube carcinoma presenting with a brain metastasis. Case. A 63-year-old woman presented with 3 weeks of progressive left-sided weakness. CT scan of the brain revealed a solitary lesion in the right parietal lobe. The patient underwent a complete resection, followed by whole-brain radiation therapy. Pathologic review demonstrated adenocarcinoma with follicular structures. A directed workup revealed a large right adnexal mass. She underwent resection of a large fallopian tube carcinoma with normal ovaries. She recovered from surgery and is receiving combination chemotherapy. Conclusion. This is the first case report of a fallopian tube carcinoma presenting as a brain metastasis.
