introduction: the co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. it is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. methods: the tumours were diagnosed on mri in the 65-year-old...

background and importance: the coexistence of pituitary adenoma and another type of brain tumor is a very rare clinical scenario. even though such a presentation can be an incidental event but the possible pathogenesis of coexistence of different lesions in the sella and suprasellar region has not yet been elucidated. case presentation: two cases of concomitant sellar and suprasellar region tum...

Multiple pulmonary metastases from meningioma are rare. We report here a 59-year-old man with multiple pulmonary metastases from a recurrent intracranial meningioma. The primary intracranial tumour in the left occiput was totally excised in 2009. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of atypical meningioma and adjuvant radiotherapy was given to help prevent recurrence. However, recur...

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...

Cystic meningioma is a rare form of intracranial meningioma. Meningiomas are typically solid tumors but may rarely have cystic components. The diagnosis of cystic meningioma is clinically challenging as the finding of multiple intra-axial tumors, including metastatic tumors, is relatively common. We report a case of cystic meningioma initially diagnosed as a metastatic tumor from a recurrence o...

OBJECTIVE To screen for NF2 mutations in people with meningiomas. METHODS Lymphocyte or tumour DNA was analysed from 46 individuals from 36 families who presented with a meningioma at age < or =15 years without vestibular schwannoma (VS), or who had multiple meningiomas in adulthood before the diagnosis of VS. RESULTS Eight of 13 people with meningioma and other features of neurofibromatosi...

Most meningiomas are benign; however anaplastic usually highly invasive and grow rapidly. These tumors can metastases outside the blood-brain barrier occurring to lungs. We present an unusual case of multiple pulmonary from recurrent intracranial meningioma in a 59-year-old male patient. Multiple very rare, but we should be aware this possibility patients with malignant especially, potential pr...
