Abstract

We report two patients with leptomeningeal metastases from squamous cell cancer of the skin. In one patient cauda equina metastases appeared 6 years after initial presentation; the tumor from radical neck dissection demonstrated perineural invasion suggesting a possible route for subarachnoid dissemination. The other patient presented 2 years after initial diagnosis with confusion and cranial nerve seven and twelve palsies. Both patients died from complications of leptomeningeal metastases.
