Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare neoplasm associated with poor prognosis. Local disease progression is the major cause of death rather than distant metastasis. Intracranial metastases are seen very rarely. Herein, we report a case of MPM with brain metastasis treated with cranial irradiation.
恶性胸膜间皮瘤(MPM)是一种罕见的肿瘤,预后较差。局部疾病进展是主要死因,而非远处转移。颅内转移非常罕见。在此,我们报告一例接受头颅放疗治疗的伴有脑转移的MPM病例。
