Abstract
Meningiomas are usually slow growing neoplasms that follow a benign clinical course. However, atypical and anaplastic meningiomas can show more aggressive behaviour and have the potential to metastasise. The most common sites for metastases are lung, spine, soft tissue, liver and bone. Bone metastases are exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 70-year-old man with a previous history of recurrent anaplastic meningioma (WHO grade III) with a pathological fracture of the left humerus. Histopathology aided by immunohistochemistry revealed metastatic meningioma.
