摘要:
Background. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma with leptomeningeal involvement is rare and typically has poor prognosis. Methods and Results. We present a case report of a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who was treated with high-dose intravenous methotrexate and remains asymptomatic and without clinical evidence of disease 6 years later. Conclusions. Systemic high-dose methotrexate should be evaluated in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with central nervous involvement. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
