Liver metastasis from a non-recurrent atypical cranial meningioma: a case report

Pathologica. 2020 Mar;112(1):46-49. doi: 10.32074/1591-951X-29-19.

Abstract

Extracranial metastases from atypical meningioma are rare, and even more so in the liver. We report a case of a 68-years-old patient with atypical meningioma, treated with partial surgical resection in 2012, and gamma knife radiotherapy in 2014 in another hospital, exhibiting a liver metastasis 6 years after the initial surgical resection.

Keywords: atypical; histology; liver; meningioma; metastasis.
