A patient with meningeal carcinomatosis and hydrocephalus secondary to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast is presented. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt with a 3-microns Millipore filter was placed to prevent abdominal seeding of tumor cells. Within 5 days the shunt became plugged, requiring removal of the plugged filter. Tumor cells and hematogenous cells were found on the ventricular surface of the filter. The histological findings and the electron microscopy of these cells are presented. Millipore filters should probably not be placed in patients with carcinomatous meningitis.
本文报告了一名患有脑膜癌病和继发于乳腺转移性腺癌的脑积水的患者。放置了带有3微米微孔过滤器的脑室腹腔分流管，以防止肿瘤细胞在腹部种植。5天内分流管堵塞，需要取出堵塞的过滤器。在过滤器的脑室表面发现了肿瘤细胞和血细胞。本文展示了这些细胞的组织学发现和电子显微镜检查结果。对于患有癌性脑膜炎的患者，可能不应放置微孔过滤器。
