Abstract

Meningiomas stand as the predominant intracranial tumors, with surgical excision being the gold standard treatment. For inoperable or recurrent cases, radiosurgery emerges as a viable option. The amalgamation of surgical and radiosurgical approaches is gaining traction in treatment paradigms. While extracranial metastasis in benign meningiomas is exceedingly rare, we present the case of a 62-year-old woman manifesting multiple lung masses five years post-complete resection of a benign parasagittal meningioma. Subsequent wedge lung excision unveiled a surprising diagnosis of meningioma. Six months thereafter, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain unveiled two small recurrent parasagittal meningiomas, promptly addressed via Cyberknife radiosurgery with a single fraction of 14 Gy. Astonishingly, complete tumor disappearance was observed at the 12-month follow-up. This report underscores a dual rarity-benign meningioma metastasis and complete tumor regression post-radiosurgery at the 12-month mark.
