Abstract :
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LMM) occurs in about 3-8% of patients with systemic cancer. It is very rare in patients with signet-ring cell carcinoma. But, the prognosis is also very poor. We report a case of a younger woman with signet-ring cell carcinoma of primary origin unknown who presented with meningeal carcinomatosis.
