In a 57-year-old male patient meningitic symptoms occurred. CSF cytology exhibited carcinoma cells, thus establishing the diagnosis of carcinomatous meningeosis. The primary site of the tumor or metastases were not detected intra vitam. The autopsy revealed a malignant thymoma with an exclusive metastatic participation of the leptomeninges except for some few regional lymph nodes. Cerebral metastases of malignant thymoma is an extremely rare condition.
一名57岁男性患者出现脑膜炎症状。脑脊液细胞学检查发现癌细胞，从而确诊为癌性脑膜炎。生前未检测到肿瘤的原发部位或转移灶。尸检显示为恶性胸腺瘤，除少数区域淋巴结外，软脑膜有唯一的转移灶。恶性胸腺瘤脑转移极为罕见。
