XXXX cells in cerebrospinal fluid as the first manifestation of a @entity5 . A case report.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity0 @entity5 @entity3909 @entity772 @entity189 @entity1086 @entity420
BACKGROUND: @entity3909 ( @entity3909 ) rarely occurs as the first evidence of a @entity5 . In such cases cytology of the cerebrospinal fluid is crucial to the diagnosis. The most frequent primary MCs are lung and @entity0 . @entity3909 from a @entity1086 is uncommon. CASE: A 58-year-old @entity1 presented with paroxysmal headaches, @entity410 and @entity772 . Analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid revealed @entity189 cells and a low protein concentration. Only postmortem examination discovered @entity420 to be the source of the @entity5 cells. CONCLUSION: A case with the onset of @entity3909 secondary to rare mucinous @entity420 is presented. Cytology of the cerebrospinal fluid was the only examination that uncovered @entity5 . Nine similar cases were found in the literature. Low cerebrospinal fluid protein seems to be of diagnostic value.
