| Popis: |
A 56-years-old woman, who had undergone a complete resection for atypical meningioma (grade 2 of World Health Organization classification)8 years before was admitted to our hospital to treat a mass on the right middle lobe detected by chest X-ray. The mass was resected successfully by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and pathological diagnosis of the tumor was a metastatic atypical meningioma. We experienced a rare case of extracranial pulmonary metastasis of meningioma. Grade 2 meningioma is thought to have malignant potential of local recurrence and extracranial metastasis compared to grade 1 meningioma, so long-term observation may be necessary after resection of atypical meningioma. |
