Meningeal carcinomatosis from a clinically undiagnosed early gastric cancer

A Grove. Pathol Res Pract. 1991 Mar.

Abstract

Meningeal carcinomatosis is a rare complication of systemic cancer, of which advanced gastric carcinomas have predominated. The present case happens to be the first reported of meningeal carcinomatosis caused by an early gastric cancer, which was first diagnosed at autopsy. Various pathological aspects of early gastric cancer, which may have influenced the outcome of the present case, are considered.
