ÖZETLeptomeninksler, solid tümörlerde nadir rastlanılan bir metastaz bölgesidir. Leptomeningeal metastaz'a en sık neden olan tümörler; meme kanseri, akciğer kanseri, melanom ve lösemi-lenfomalardır. Mide kanserine bağlı leptomeningeal metastaz, oldukça nadir görülen ancak hızlı seyirli ve kötü prognozlu bir tablodur. Tanı beyin omurilik sıvısının biokimyasal ve sitolojik incelenmesi ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile konulmaktadır. Leptomeningeal metastaz tedavisinde intratekal kemoterapi ve/veya radyoterapiyi içeren çeşitli seçenekler vardır. Bu yazıda spinal leptomeningeal metastaza yol açan metastatik mide kanserli bir kadın hastayı sunduk. Godalinyumlu kranial manyetik rezonans görüntülemede patoloji saptanmazken, torakal spinal vertebra manyetik rezonans görüntülemede Th1-6 düzeyinde leptomeningeal tutulum izlendi. Beyin-omurilik sıvısının sitolojik incelemesi taşlı yüzük hücresine benzeyen tümör hücrelerini saptadı. Bulgular leptomeningeal metastaz ile uyumluydu. Anahtar Kelimeler: Menengial karsinomatozis, Mide; Kanser ABSTRACT Leptomeninges are a rare region for metastasis in solid tumors. The most common causes of leptomeningeal metastasis are breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and leukemia-lymphomas. Leptomeningeal metastasis associated with gastric cancer is an exceedingly rare condition but it is rapidly progressive and poor prognosis. It is diagnosed with biochemical and cytological examination of the cerebrospinal fluid and imaging. There are several treatment options for patients with LMC, including intrathecal chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. In this report, we present a women with metastatic gastric cancer leading to spinal leptomeningeal metastasis. While magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed no pathology, magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracal spinal vertebrae showed leptomeningeal enhancement of Th1-6 level. Cytological examination of the cerebrospinal fluid revealed the tumor cells like signet ring cell. These findings were consistent with leptomeningeal metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
