Metastatic Dural Carcinomatosis Secondary to Gastric Cancer

抄録

Metastatic dural carcinomatosis secondary to gastric cancer is a rare complication. A case was experienced which demonstrated diffuse carcinomatous infiltration in the subdural membrane and in the scalp.
The characteristic metastatic involvement of this membrane was of special interest in this case. There were numerous foci of carcinomatous infiltration within the lumen of markedly distended veins in the subdural membrane and there was marked proliferation of fibroblasts and capillaries around the carcinomatous infiltration.
