Abstrakt: An asymptomatic 68-year-old woman, with a history of breast cancer 19 years ago, was unexpectedly found to have primary pulmonary meningioma during medical evaluation. This discovery is exceedingly rare, with only about 70 cases reported worldwide. Following uncomplicated surgical removal of the mass, the patient was discharged in good health on the third day after the procedure. Notably, initial analysis of a frozen tissue sample indicated hamartoma, but subsequent immune-histochemical pathological examination confirmed the presence of meningioma. Given the uncommon nature of this tumor, it is essential to report such cases to raise awareness about pulmonary meningioma as a potential cause of solitary lung nodules. This awareness can help prevent unnecessary chemotherapy or surgical interventions.
