Abstract

Meningioma is the commonest primary intracranial tumor in adults, with the majority being benign. Malignant meningioma is exceedingly rare and carries a poor prognosis because of its tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis. We present the case of a 53 years old male with anaplastic malignant meningioma, which recurred after excision and radiotherapy and later metastasised to pleura, bones and brain. Keywords: Metastatic meningioma, Anaplastic meningioma, Pleural metastasis, Intracranial tumor, Extracranial metastasis
