Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the Bartholin gland is an extremely uncommon gynecological tumor. Brain metastasis from a malignant gynecological lesion is rarely encountered and the prognosis for this type of metastasis is quite poor. Different treatment options, including resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, and whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT), as well as chemotherapy, are available and should each be considered on an individual basis. In this article, we report a case of a brain metastasis from a small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the Bartholin gland that was treated by surgical resection followed by WBRT and review the literature.
