Vertebral metastases from intracranial meningioma
Meningioma rarely gives rise to metastases outside the brain and meninges. We report here a case of a patient who was treated for anaplastic brain meningioma with surgery and fractionated radiation therapy without any recurrence until 5 years after the operation, when she developed vertebral metastases.
متن کاملBone and lung metastases from intracranial meningioma.
Fifteen percent of intracranial tumors are represented by meningiomas. Meningioma is usually a benign neoplasm; malignant histology is rare and represents about 2-10% with a 43% incidence of metastasis. The most frequent site of metastasis is the lung and rare are other sites. There are no definitive criteria to predict the recurrence or metastases of meningioma and histological grading, accord...
متن کاملRecurrent intracranial meningioma with multiple pulmonary metastases: A case report
Meningiomas are slow-growing tumors, which are generally considered to be benign and rarely metastasize. Although cases of extracranial metastatic meningioma have previously been reported, multiple pulmonary metastases from a benign intracranial meningioma is particularly rare. In the present report, a case of recurrent transitional meningioma with multiple lung nodules, which were demonstrated...
متن کاملHepatic and skeletal metastases from primary intracranial atypical meningioma.
Meningioma constitutes 27% of primary CNS tumours. It rarely metastasizes to distant sites (< 0.1%). Here, we present a case report of primary atypical intracranial meningioma metastasizing to liver and bone after 4 years of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy presenting with multiple episodes of hypoglycemia.
متن کاملMultiple pulmonary metastases from intracranial meningioma: MR imaging findings (case report).
Extracranial metastases from meningioma are very rare and among those the lungs are the most common metastatic site. In the literature, pulmonary metastases of meningiomas have been emphasized on their rarity, non-specific imaging findings, and cytologic features. Some definitive MR imaging features of intracranial meningiomas have been described. However, MR imaging findings of the lung metast...
