title: [Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with distant meningeal metastasis].
abstract: The incidence of meningeal metastasis from pancreatic cancer is extremely low. In our country patients die rapidly from pancreatic cancer and are extremely rarely subjected to autopsy--they either die at home, or complications from primary tumor result in low clinical interest. We had the rare chance to perform an autopsy on a female patient with meningeal spread of pancreatic carcinoma, in which the patient initially developed signs of neurologic disorder without exhibiting any symptoms of pancreatic disease.
