چکیده
Most intracranial and intraspinal meningiomas are benign. Aggressive "malignant" behavior of intracranial meningiomas, with distant metastases usually to the lungs, has been well described [1-4]. We report a rare case of intraspinal meningioma with distant metastases to the lungs. Our review of the literature revealed only one other case of intraspinal meningioma with metastases to the lung [5].
