| 摘要 |
Meningiomas are generally considered to be a common intracranial neoplasm that rarely metastasizes extracranially, and distant vertebral metastasis, even from histologically benign meningiomas, has been quite rare in the literature. We present an unusual case of recurrent falx meningioma with possible extracranial metastasis to the third lumbar vertebral body in a 77-year-old woman. The metastatic lesion was nored about 11 years after cranial surgery. The histopathological findings changed from benign to malignant meningioma. We review the pertinent literature, clinical course, and discuss the surgical aspect, histopathological findings and modes of metastasis. |
