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.
