Leptomeningeal involvement is usually reported as a secondary event in advanced, already diagnosed, gastric adenocarcinoma. We report a case of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in which identification of mucus-secreting "signet-ring" carcinoma cells in the cerebrospinal fluid allowed the diagnosis of an otherwise asymptomatic gastric cancer. This is one of the very few reported cases manifesting as such in the medical literature.
软脑膜受累通常被报道为晚期、已确诊的胃腺癌的继发事件。我们报告了一例软脑膜癌病病例，其中在脑脊液中发现分泌黏液的“印戒”癌细胞，从而诊断出一例原本无症状的胃癌。这是医学文献中极少数如此表现的报道病例之一。
