Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in a younger patient with signet-ring cell carcinoma

Abstract

Abstract

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LMM) occurs in about 3-8% of patients with systemic cancer. It is very rare in patients with signet-ring cell carcinoma. But, the prognosis is also very poor. We report a case of a younger woman with signet-ring cell carcinoma of primary origin unknown who presented with meningeal carcinomatosis.

Keywords: Leptomeningeal metastasis; signet-ring cell carcinoma; prognosis.
