Аннотация
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.
