Abstract
Intracranial metastasis of a uterine cervical carcinoma is a very rare occurrence. These metastases are characteristically multiple, supra-tentorial, associated with multiple systemic dissemination, usually occur relatively late in the course of the disease, and are most often seen in squamous carcinomas. We present an unusual case which defied these characteristics. This patient was in long-term remission (11 years), presented with a solitary cerebellous metastases, had no evidence of other systemic spread, and the pathology was an adenocarcinoma. We present this rare case with interesting clinical ramifications. This is probably the longest duration of remission prior to the metastasis in the published literature.
