Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis Presenting Early in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Purpose: we present the case of a patient presenting with altered mental status on post-operative day seven after a diagnostic lung biopsy. The diagnosis of carcinomatous letomeningeal metastasis was confirmed. Methods: we discuss meningeal carcinomatosis in lung cancer, and describe challenges to diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. Results: a review of the literature describing the clinical and...
متن کاملTreatment of Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis in a Patient With Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma
A 49-year-old woman with cholangiocarcinoma metastatic to the lungs presented with new-onset unrelenting headaches. A lumbar puncture revealed malignant cells consistent with leptomeningeal metastasis from her cholangiocarcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed leptomeningeal enhancement. An intrathecal (IT) catheter was placed and IT chemotherapy was initiated with metho...
متن کاملRelationship between the expression of miR137 in the serum of patients with metastatic lung cancer
Background: Micro-Ribonocellic Acids (miRNA) are non-coding nucleic acids that are evolutionally protected and have a length of 24-20 nucleotides. MiRNAs control the expression of genes after transcription by mRNA degradation or translation inhibition. By blocking the oncogenic miRNAs and creating the necessary and functional miRNAs (tumor suppressor), these small regulatory RNAs can have thera...
متن کاملAn NMR metabolomics approach for the diagnosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in lung adenocarcinoma cancer patients.
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) is a metastatic cancer invading the central nervous system (CNS). We previously reported a metabolomic diagnostic approach as tested on an animal model and compared with current modalities. Here, we provide a proof of concept by applying it to human LC originating from lung cancer, the most common cause of CNS metastasis. Cerebrospinal fluid from LC (n = 26) a...
متن کاملNeuroborreliosis Mimicking Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis in a Patient With Breast Cancer
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is a serious complication of advanced cancer. Various clinical manifestations may present, such as headache, nausea, seizures, cranial neuropathies. In this article, we report the case of a 65-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who was admitted to hospital suffering from facial palsy, which was suspected to be caused by leptomeningeal tumor infiltration. ...
