“…However, in a minority of patients pulmonary metastases are manifest either coincidental to [14][15][16][17] or even give rise to the detection of the intracranial tumor. 12,13 Interestingly, as described in our case 2, the majority of patients (77%, n = 30/39) carried already more than one pulmonary metastasis at the time of the discovery of metastatic disease. However, our case 1 patient belongs to the minority of patients with only one pulmonary metastatic lesion and no other systemic manifestation (10%, n = 4/39, of published cases).…”

“…With a latency of 5 and 11 years between initial surgery and pulmonary metastasis both our patients seem to confirm this notion. However, in a minority of patients pulmonary metastases are manifest either coincidental to or even give rise to the detection of the intracranial tumor . Interestingly, as described in our case 2, the majority of patients (77%, n = 30/39) carried already more than one pulmonary metastasis at the time of the discovery of metastatic disease.…”

“…To date, no standard treatment has been established for metastatic meningioma. Upfront thoracotomy accompanied by complete pulmonary tumor resection was the first therapy of choice in most published cases . Fine needle aspiration biopsy for diagnostic purposes was done in individual patients or followed by thoracotomy for complete tumor resection .…”

“…The age of published patients varied from 17–84 years (mean 53 years); 53% ( n = 24/45) were female and 47% ( n = 21/45) were male. Lung metastases were evident prior to intracranial disease in single cases only . Coincidence of lung metastases and intracranial meningioma was reported in four cases .…”

Two cases of atypical meningioma with pulmonary metastases: A comparative cytogenetic analysis of chromosomes 1p and 22 and a review of the literature

We present two cases of atypical meningioma WHO grade II with a history of multiple local recurrences and late pulmonary metastases. Comparative cytogenetic analyses on 1p and 22q confirmed clonal origin of the primary intracranial meningiomas and the pulmonary metastases in both cases. These cases illustrate the importance of close neuroradiological follow-up to detect tumor recurrence in patients with atypical meningiomas WHO grade II even with clinically stable disease and should sensitize clinicians to late extracranial metastases of these tumors, especially to the lung. In an effort to elucidate common clinical features of metastatic meningiomas, especially to the lung, the literature was reviewed from 1995 to 2014, identifying a total of 45 published cases.

Meningioma is the most common benign primary brain tumour and does not usually metastasise. We report the case of a 69‐year‐old male patient with a history of meningioma who presented respiratory symptoms. He was found to have diffuse pleural metastasis from meningioma, which occurred 10 years after surgical management of recurrent meningioma. This case study provides insights into the clinical profile, workup and management of metastatic meningioma.

Metastatic meningioma is a rare situation. We conducted a retrospective study from our databases and identified cases of metastatic meningioma. We report three presentations of patients with medical history of surgical removal of meningioma presenting several years later a liver tumor with bone metastasis or multiple lung tumors. These observations highlight the difficulty of the clinical and pathological diagnosis and the absence of consideration of metastatic state for histologically "benign" but clinically aggressive meningiomas in the current WHO 2007 classification of meningiomas. We also reviewed published cases of metastatic meningiomas since they are clearly distinguished from haemangiopericytoma.
