Brain metastases from endometrial adenocarcinoma are quite rare. Here, we report a case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with a history of left limb weakness of 45 days' duration. Her medical history was significant for the endometrial carcinoma diagnosed 13 years earlier, for which she had undergone a total hysterectomy. The patient received a craniotomy and was finally diagnosed with brain metastasis from endometrial adenocarcinoma. We performed a MEDLINE search of the pertinent literature, searching for information focusing on the diagnosis, mechanism, treatment, and prognosis of this rare tumor type.
