Core Tip	Solid tumors rarely have leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Gastric adenocarcinoma have been rarely reported with leptomeningeal involvement, and most of the reports have been documented in patients with Asian heritage, who have higher incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma. This leptomeningeal involvement is usually a late complication of disseminated and relapsed disease. In this case, however, we describe a patient with recurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma that presented with leptomenigeal carcinomatosis. We describe the presentation, the pertinent medical history of the patient, and the clinical outcome of the disease. We highlighted that leptomeningeal carcinomatosis can be a presentation of relapse, which is rare, and indicates a poor prognosis.
