Abstract:
We report a rare case of multiple primary pulmonary meningiomas in a 52-year-old woman who presented with lung nodules identified on abdominal computed tomography(CT). She had a history of surgery and chemotherapy for an immature ovarian teratoma 33 years prior to presentation. She underwent resection of a mature retroperitoneal teratoma 16 years prior and a peritoneal teratoma 6 months prior to presentation. Chest CT revealed 3 solid nodules in the right S3, right S8, and left S6 lung segments, and we performed thoracoscopic resection. Histopathologically, the 3 tumors were diagnosed as meningiomas. Since these tumors did not have other histological component and magnetic resonance imaging of the central nervous system revealed no meningeal lesion, these tumors were diagnosed as primary pulmonary meningiomas.
