Abstract

We present a case of ovarian carcinoma that had brain metastasis seven months after having a negative second-look laparotomy and 13 months after the onset of diagnosis. Despite intense multidisciplinary treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient died seven months after second-look laparotomy.
