We present the case of a 70-year-old man who had a prostate adenocarcinoma that metastatized to a previously unknown cranial meningioma. Central nervous system (CNS) metastases are very uncommon in patients with prostate cancer, and metastases to pre-existing primary CNS tumours are even more uncommon. Rare events like this can cause diagnostic uncertainty, as shown by this case. This case is a reminder for clinicians to consider prostate metastases in patients with known prostate carcinoma and focal neurological symptoms.
我们报告了一例70岁男性病例,其前列腺腺癌转移至先前未知的颅部脑膜瘤。中枢神经系统(CNS)转移在前列腺癌患者中非常罕见,转移至先前存在的原发性CNS肿瘤则更为罕见。如此罕见的病例可导致诊断上的不确定性,本病例即显示了这一点。该病例提醒临床医生,对于患有已知前列腺癌且有局灶性神经症状的患者,要考虑前列腺转移的可能性。
