We report the metastasis of a rectal carcinoid to the dura mater of the posterior fossa. The clinical presentation was unusual because of a 10-year latent period between resection of the primary rectal tumor and symptoms and signs of the posterior fossa metastasis; the radiological findings were atypical of a metastasis. Gastrointestinal carcinoids, apudomas, and the concept of the APUD endocrine cell family are reviewed.
我们报告一例直肠类癌转移至后颅窝硬脑膜的病例。临床表现不寻常，因为在原发性直肠肿瘤切除与后颅窝转移的症状和体征出现之间有10年的潜伏期；影像学表现也不典型。本文对胃肠道类癌、APUD瘤以及APUD内分泌细胞家族的概念进行了综述。
