Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) can occur as spread from primary CNS tumors or as a manifestation of metastasis to the CNS from primary tumor sites outside the CNS. Leptomeningeal disease is, however, rare in cervical cancer, in which metastasis occurs typically from local invasion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors discuss the case of CNS metastasis with LMD from the rare neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC). Cervical cancer infrequently metastasizes to the CNS, but NECC is an aggressive variant with greater metastatic potential. Many of these patients will have previously received pelvic radiation, limiting their candidacy for craniospinal radiation for LMD treatment due to field overlap. This illustrative case documents the first known case of NECC CNS metastasis accompanied by LMD treated with intrathecal chemotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Reported is the first known case of NECC with CNS metastasis accompanied by LMD.
