We present a 32-year-old patient with solitary brain metastasis of endometrial carcinoma. The single frontal lobe metastasis was determined seven months after surgical staging of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The initial diagnosis was determined by
hysterescopic resection of an endometrial polyp. The lesion was only limited to the endometrial polyp and there was no evidence of disease at the pathological examination of uterus and lymph nodes.

Bu çalışmada 32 yaşındaki kadın olguda endometrial adenokarsinomdan kaynaklanan beyin metastazı sunulmuştur. Tek frontal lob metastazı endoımetrium adenokarsinomunun cerrahi evrelemesinden 7 ay sonra ortaya çıkmıştır. İlk tanı endometrial polipin histereskopik rezeksiyonu ile konmuştur. İlk lezyon endometrial polibe sınırlıydı ve uterus ve lenf bezlerinin incelenmesinde hastalığa
ait bulgu izlenmemiştir.
