The case of a 67-year-old man with underlying carcinomatous meningitis who presented with meningismus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilia is reported. CSF eosinophilia can reflect a number of underlying conditions; however, carcinomatous meningitis is not generally considered. In this case, studies for bacterial, fungal and parasitic agents were negative. Cytologic examination of a lumbar puncture specimen revealed malignant epithelial cells in an inflammatory background. When unexplained eosinophilia is found in the CSF, a thorough search for coincident meningeal carcinomatosis should be undertaken.
