Leptomeningeal Carsinomatosis Arising From Gastric Cancer: A Case Report
Abstract
The infiltration of the leptomeninges by malignant cells is a common complication of cancer and is called leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. The most common associated malignancies are breast and lung cancer, melanoma, lymphomas and leukaemias. Primary gastrointestinal tumours has been rarely reported with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the symptoms of fatique and weight loss. The endoscopy showed a vegetan mass of the less curvature of stomach. The biopsy revealed a poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma. However, the patient complained of a headache and balance disorder afterwards. The cytology examination of the cerebrospinal fluid supported the diagnosis of signet ring cell carcinoma.
