Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is rare, and its precise incidence is unknown. It is associated with a wide spectrum of solid and hematological malignancies. To complicate its diagnosis, the clinical presentation of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis can be variable. We report a case of a 38-year-old male with bilateral facial nerve paralysis as first presentation of lung adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the only case describing bilateral facial nerve palsy as the first and only manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma.
柔脑膜癌病较为罕见,其确切发病率尚不清楚。它与多种实体瘤和血液系统恶性肿瘤相关。柔脑膜癌病的临床表现多变,这使得其诊断变得复杂。我们报告一例38岁男性,以双侧面神经麻痹为肺腺癌的首发表现。据我们所知,这是唯一一例将双侧面神经麻痹作为肺腺癌的首发且唯一表现的病例。
