ABSTRACT
Meningeal carcinomatosis in patients with prostate cancer is very rare. Recently, we experienced a case of meningeal carcinomatosis in a patient with prostate cancer. He had undergone a radical prostatectomy 11 years before presentation and had undergone chemotherapy 4 years before presentation due to bone metastases. This time, he visited the emergency department because of a seizure. Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examinations did not reveal malignant cells, we diagnosed meningeal carcinomatosis based on positive CSF prostate-specific antigen and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The diagnosis was confirmed pathologically. We treated the patient with whole brain radiotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy. We report a case of prostate cancer with meningeal carcinomatosis with a literature review.
