Primary pulmonary meningiomas represent a rare tumor entity. Few cases have been reported in the English medical literature, and they have almost all been solitary and benign in nature, with the exception of several extremely rare cases. We report herein a case of PPM that raised suspicion of a pulmonary metastatic tumor initially, as it was depicted as a single, round, small, ground-glass opacity pulmonary nodule on a chest computed tomography scan, in a 55-year-old man with a history of buccal cancer. Increased awareness of the clinical and radiologic characteristics of this rare category can assist a multidisciplinary team to perform adequate management.
原发性肺脑膜瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤类型。英文医学文献中报道的病例很少,几乎所有病例本质上都是孤立且良性的,仅有几例极为罕见的病例除外。我们在此报告一例原发性肺脑膜瘤病例,该病例最初被怀疑为肺转移瘤,因为在一名有颊癌病史的55岁男性的胸部计算机断层扫描中,它表现为一个单一的、圆形的、小的磨玻璃密度肺结节。提高对这一罕见类型临床和放射学特征的认识有助于多学科团队进行适当的管理。
