Appendiceal cancer is an extremely rare malignancy, and its metastatic spread to the brain is even more unusual. We describe a 47-year-old female who presented with a rare cerebral appendiceal carcinoma metastasis, a case that is further remarkable for representing the first histologic diagnosis of primary medullary carcinoma in the appendix. Based on a comprehensive review of the English literature using PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, only six other cases of cerebral appendiceal metastases have been described.
阑尾癌是一种极其罕见的恶性肿瘤，其转移至脑部的情况更为罕见。我们报告一例47岁女性，她患有罕见的阑尾癌脑转移，该病例的特别之处还在于这是阑尾原发性髓样癌的首例组织学诊断。通过使用PubMed、Embase和谷歌学术对英文文献进行全面检索，仅发现另外6例阑尾癌脑转移的病例报道。
