Br J Neurosurg. 2017 Apr;31(2):276-278. doi: 10.1080/02688697.2016.1244253. Epub 2016 Oct 26.

Abstract

The most common intracranial tumour is meningioma, which rarely presents with extracranial metastasis, especially in benign cases. We report a case of meningioma recurrence with multiple pulmonary metastases in a patient who had a benign meningioma removed 12 years prior.

Keywords: Meningioma; benign metastatic tumour; lung; metastasis.
