    Metastatic meningioma is rare, occurring in less than 0.1% of cases. Tumor characteristics like histology, size, or location do not reliably predict metastasis, even in "benign" forms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Surgical pathology
    • Oncologic research

    Background:

    • Meningiomas are typically benign tumors of the meninges.
    • Metastasis from meningioma is exceptionally rare, with fewer than 1 in 1000 cases documented.
    • Predicting metastatic potential based on tumor characteristics remains a challenge in neuro-oncology.

    Observation:

    • While some studies suggest angioblastic meningiomas and hemangiopericytomas may metastasize more frequently, consensus is lacking.
    • Histologic pattern, local tumor aggressiveness, size, and location are not accurate predictors of metastatic behavior.
    • Three new cases of metastasizing meningioma are presented, contributing to the 113 reported worldwide.

    Findings:

    • Excluding angioblastic meningiomas and hemangiopericytomas, 69 cases of "benign" metastasizing meningioma are reported.

  • This highlights that histologically benign meningiomas can exhibit metastatic potential.
  • The rarity and unpredictable nature of meningioma metastasis are emphasized.

    • Implications:

    • The findings underscore the need for continued research into the molecular mechanisms driving meningioma metastasis.
    • Clinicians should maintain vigilance for metastatic disease, irrespective of initial tumor classification.
    • Further investigation is required to identify reliable biomarkers for predicting metastatic risk in meningioma patients.
