Abstract
The incidence of distant metastasis from meningioma is reported to be rare. Only about 0.1% of meningiomas metastasize outside the central nervous system (1), with 11 cases of liver metastasis reported in PubMed. A consensus about screening programs and treatment plan for metastatic meningioma is still lacking. Surgical resection remains the first option for the treatment and should be performed in Centers with adequate experience. We report a case of metastatic liver tumor from an atypical meningioma and reviewed similar previously publishedcases, summarizing potential risk factors for liver metastasis and screening recommendations. 48-year-old female was diagnosed with meningioma in 2000 and underwent complete surgical resection with pathology indicating a fibrous meningioma.
期刊介绍:
Starting with this issue "Annals of Fundeni Hospital", founded in 1996 as the scientific journal of the prestigious hospital Fundeni becomes "Journal of Translational Medicine and Research" (JTMR), an Journal of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania. Therefore, an 18 years old Journal, attested and indexed in Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, Amsterdam and also indexed in SCOPUS, is continuing a tradition of excellence that lasted almost two decades. The new title of the Journal is inspired first of all from the important developments of translational research In Fundeni Clinical Institute and the "C.C Iliescu Institute for Cardio-Vascular Diseases", in parallel with the national and international trend to promote and develop this important area or medical research. Although devoted mainly to translational research, JTMR will continue to promote both basic and clinical research.
