BACKGROUND
Metastasis of one cancer to another is rare. Here, we report a spinal meningioma that was infiltrated by metastatic deposits from another cancer.
CASE DESCRIPTION
A 62-year-old male presented with a progressive spastic paraparesis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the spine suggested a well-defined intradural extramedullary (IDEM) T8 mass in the dorsal spinal canal. When excised, it proved histologically to be a meningothelial meningioma infiltrated by metastatic deposits from an adenocarcinoma.
CONCLUSION
Tumor to tumor metastasis rarely occurs, and meningioma, owing to its biological character and increased vascularity, is one of the most common recipients of a metastases from other lesions.
背景
一种癌症转移至另一种癌症的情况很罕见。在此，我们报告一例脊髓脑膜瘤被来自另一种癌症的转移灶浸润。
病例描述
一名62岁男性出现进行性痉挛性截瘫。脊柱磁共振成像显示在胸段椎管内有一个边界清晰的髓外硬膜内（IDEM）T8肿块。切除后，组织学检查证实为一个被腺癌转移灶浸润的脑膜皮型脑膜瘤。
结论
肿瘤至肿瘤的转移很少发生，并且脑膜瘤由于其生物学特性和血管增多，是其他病变转移最常见的接受者之一。
