Carcinoid tumors are relatively uncommon. They are known for their slow growing behavior and unique symptoms. Patients with carcinoid tumors usually present with signs and symptoms due either to local disease or to the carcinoid syndrome. During the course of these tumors, they tend to metastasize to different sites, including regional lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bone. They rarely metastasize to the central nervous system (CNS) and very rarely present with signs and symptoms related to CNS metastasis. We report a patient who presented with CNS symptoms and was found to have a pulmonary carcinoid tumor involving the liver and the dura mater. In this article, CNS involvement in carcinoid tumors is discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
类癌肿瘤相对不常见。它们以生长缓慢的特性和独特症状而闻名。类癌肿瘤患者通常因局部疾病或类癌综合征而出现体征和症状。在这些肿瘤的病程中，它们倾向于转移至不同部位，包括区域淋巴结、肺、肝和骨。它们很少转移至中枢神经系统（CNS），并且极少出现与CNS转移相关的体征和症状。我们报告了一名出现CNS症状的患者，该患者被发现患有累及肝脏和硬脑膜的肺类癌肿瘤。本文讨论了类癌肿瘤的CNS受累情况，并对相关文献进行了综述。
