Nivolumab efficacy in leptomeningeal metastasis of renal cell carcinoma: a case report.

CONCLUSIONS: Meningeal carcinomatosis metastasis from renal cancer is a rare condition. Diagnosis is often challenging: the onset of nonspecific presenting symptoms could be initially attributed to bone involvement, side effects of oncologic therapy, or paraneoplastic syndromes. Our case suggests that nivolumab could be an effective and safe treatment option in patients with pretreated renal cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis.
