- Medulloblastoma
- Supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (sPNET)
- Ependymoma
- Germinoma
- Choroid plexus carcinoma
- Vast majority of leptomeningeal metastases originates from a widespread metastatic disease (hematogenic spread). Common primary sites include:[1]
- Breast cancer (most common)
- Lung cancer
- Melanoma
- Lymphoma and leukemia
