摘要

meningiomas account for approximately one-sixth of all primary neoplasms of the central nervous system and rarely present extracranial metastases. a finding of multiple metastases is rare, as is the presence of respiratory symptoms. herein, we report the case of a 67-year-old female patient presenting subacute onset of respiratory symptoms. the patient had undergone resection of a benign intracranial meningioma six months prior, but had no history of lung disease. upon examination, multiple pulmonary metastases, originating from the primary tumor, were observed.
