Rare pontine metastasis operated via endoscopic transsphenoidal transclival approach, a case report and brief review of literature

Background: Brain metastasis from endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon, and to the brain stem particularly are quite rare. Different therapeutic modalities for metastatic endometrial cancer to the brain such as surgical resection and radiotherapy have been described. Surgical resection of brain st...
