Uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) is a highly aggressive endometrial cancer histology with a propensity for distant metastasis. Despite the aggressive nature of UPSC, central nervous system metastasis is a rare occurrence with few cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 58-year-old woman with a history of Stage IIIA UPSC who was diagnosed with recurrent, metastatic disease in the pineal gland more than 6 years after her initial diagnosis.
