| description | Key Clinical Message Conventional treatments of anaplastic meningioma include surgery and radiotherapy. Temozolomide is also an option. Metastases to extracerebral organs are very rare and hardly manageable. Antiangiogenic drugs could represent a salvage therapy. Abstract Anaplastic meningioma is an unusual tumor subtype that rarely involves organs outside the brain. In our case, a patient with cerebral meningioma developed lung metastases after 19 years from the initial tumor appearance. This unpredictable behavior could make complex the diagnosis. |
