Primary diffuse leptomeningeal glioblastoma: a case report and literature review.
Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) that presents as leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is extremely rare and fatal. Limited data are available regarding incidence, clinical presentation, and management. Prognosis is poor and no treatment is known to improve survival.
Methods and results: We present a case report of a 72-year-old female who presented with depressed sensorium, ataxia, and myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse supratentorial and spinal LMD. There was an absence of any detectable and distinct intraparenchymal lesion on neuroaxis imaging. Biopsy of the Sylvian fissure nodule revealed GBM. Steroid therapy was ineffective for symptom relief. She opted for palliative care and expired shortly after diagnosis.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of GBM presenting exclusively as LMD without a primary lesion. If systemic imaging techniques do not provide a biopsy target and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies are non-diagnostic, tissue diagnosis from leptomeningeal biopsy is recommended. Palliative chemoradiation or best supportive care are reasonable treatment options.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
