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.

Meningeal karsinomatozisi olan ve birincil orjini bilinmeyen signet-ring hücreli karsinomu olan genç bir bayan olguyu bildiriyoruz.
