Abstract
|
|
|
|
Primary extracranial and extraspinal meningiomas are rare tumors that usually occur in the head and neck region, and few cases have been reported in the chest. In the described case, a complete central nervous system evaluation eliminated meningioma at other locations, and allowed a diagnosis of primary pulmonary meningioma. We describe a case of primary pulmonary meningioma(PPM) treated by excision. A complete central nervous system evaluation eliminated the possibility of multiple involvement. However, 9 years later meningioma developed in the brain. Solitary primary pulmonary meningioma is rare, and delayed onset brain meningioma is extremely rare. A search of the literature failed to reveal a similar case. Accordingly, this may be the first description of a primary pulmonary meningioma associated with the delayed development of brain meningioma.
