Carcinomatous meningitis is a rare manifestation of malignancy. It is increasingly being recognized in lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, melanomas, gastrointestinal malignancies, lymphomas, and leukemia and it is almost never seen in gallbladder malignancies. We present a case whose primary presentation was as a carcinomatous meningitis that was subsequently found to be secondary to a gallbladder primary.
癌性脑膜炎是恶性肿瘤的一种罕见表现。它在肺癌、乳腺癌、黑色素瘤、胃肠道恶性肿瘤、淋巴瘤和白血病中越来越多地被认识到,而在胆囊恶性肿瘤中几乎从未见过。我们报告一例病例,其最初表现为癌性脑膜炎,随后发现是由胆囊原发性肿瘤继发而来。
