Many difficulties, however, are encountered in attempting to prove the metastatic origin of such a tumor. In the hope of gaining some knowledge which would aid in clinical recognition of the true nature of these lesions, a clinical, statistical, and pathologic survey of the material available at The Mayo Clinic was undertaken.Ninety-five patients examined in The Mayo Clinic in the ten years ending January...Bibliography BEERMAN WF: Meningeal carcinomatosis, Jr. Am.
