Multiple micromeningiomas coexist with primary lung adenocarcinoma: A case report

Cases of multiple ectopic meningiomas in the lung coexisting with pulmonary malignancies are extremely rare in the clinic. On imaging, it is difficult to distinguish multiple ectopic meningiomas from lung cancer, which puts forward higher requirements for treatment. A 65‐year‐old female patient was admitted to our department for multiple nodules in both lungs. The patient underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection and segmental resection. Postoperative pathological examination found lung meningioma, atypical adenomatoid hyperplasia (AAH), carcinoma in situ (AIS), invasive adenocarcinoma, and other pathological types. In this case, pulmonary meningioma, AAH, AIS, and invasive adenocarcinoma of various pulmonary nodules were observed. This case, which has not been reported before, is unique in that it has multiple pathologic types in one organ. This puts forward higher requirements for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

“…Specifically, the treatment efficacy of surgical resection of pulmonary metastasis of meningioma remains unclear. To the best of our knowledge, 70 cases of pulmonary metastasis of meningioma have been reported to date in the English and Japanese literature [ 5 , 6 , 9 , 10 , 15 , 16 ]. Among these, 30 cases have been reported with information about the outcomes of surgical resection for lung metastasis of cranial meningioma (Table 1 ) [ 5 , 6 , 15 , 17 – 38 ].…”

Solitary pulmonary metastasis after meningioma surgery of the head: a case report

et al. 2022

Background Meningioma is the most common type of benign primary brain tumor that is rarely associated with distant metastasis. No established treatment strategy for metastatic meningiomas exists to date. Herein, we report a case of solitary pulmonary metastasis of meningioma detected 2 years after neurosurgical resection of the primary tumor. Case presentation A 75-year-old male patient underwent neurosurgical resection of a convexity meningioma (World Health Organization grade II atypical meningioma), followed by postoperative radiotherapy for the residual tumor. Two postoperative years later, a solitary 10-mm pulmonary nodule in the left lower lung lobe was detected on chest computed tomography. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy for suspected pulmonary metastasis of meningioma. The pathological diagnosis was solitary pulmonary metastasis of meningioma. No sign of further recurrence was noted at 8 months postoperatively. Conclusions We present a rare and unique surgical case of solitary pulmonary metastasis of meningioma. Further investigation is necessary to establish the standardized treatment strategy for metastatic meningiomas.

Low-grade intracranial meningioma with bilateral pulmonary metastases incidentally detected postpartum: a case report and review of the literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Meningiomas are the most commonly encountered intracranial tumors, usually showing indolent behavior. Extra-axial spreading and distant metastases are seldom detected in these tumors, and lung metastasis from a low-grade meningioma is a rare event. Case presentation This case report aimed to present the clinical, imaging, and pathological features of a 37-year-old Caucasian pregnant woman with bilateral lung metastases incidentally detected during preoperative workup ahead of surgery for a primary intracranial meningioma. The possible metastatic routes and risk factors of dissemination to the pulmonary circulation were discussed as well. Conclusion Metastasis must be considered in patients with intracranial meningiomas accompanied by venous sinus invasion and extension through the calvarium. Thorough paraclinical investigations are suggested in such cases.
