D C Miller, R G Ojemann, K H Proppe

Journal of Neurosurgery

|May 1, 1985

Summary

This case study describes a rare instance of a benign intracranial meningioma that appeared to metastasize to the lung. The pulmonary tumor was also benign and the patient remained disease-free for 28 months.

Background:

Intracranial meningiomas are typically benign tumors arising from the meninges.
Metastasis is rare in histologically benign meningiomas.

Observation:

A patient presented with both an intracranial meningioma and a pulmonary tumor.
Fine-needle aspiration cytology suggested metastatic meningioma in the lung.

Findings:

Surgical resection revealed the pulmonary tumor to be histologically benign.
The patient experienced no recurrence or disease progression for 28 months post-resection.

Implications:

This case adds to the limited literature on benign metastasizing meningiomas.
Highlights the importance of considering unusual metastatic patterns even with histologically benign primary tumors.
