Hepatic and skeletal metastases from primary intracranial atypical meningioma

J Coll Physicians Surg Pak. 2009 May;19(5):316-7.

Abstract

Meningioma constitutes 27% of primary CNS tumours. It rarely metastasizes to distant sites (< 0.1%). Here, we present a case report of primary atypical intracranial meningioma metastasizing to liver and bone after 4 years of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy presenting with multiple episodes of hypoglycemia.
