A 52-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with several days of progressive dyspnoea and thoracic pain. Her medical history included a (recurrent) anaplastic meningioma, for which she was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. A chest X-ray showed occurrence of total opacification of the left lower lobe and a chest computed tomography demonstrated a pleural mass of 12 × 9 × 15 cm in the left lower lobe. Biopsy of the pleural mass revealed a metastasis of the patient's anaplastic meningioma. Extracranial metastases from meningioma are extremely uncommon (≤ 0.1%-0.2% of cases), but important for a patient's prognosis.
一名52岁女性因数天来进行性呼吸困难和胸痛就诊于急诊科。她的病史包括（复发性）间变性脑膜瘤，曾接受手术和放疗。胸部X线显示左下叶完全致密影，胸部计算机断层扫描显示左下叶有一个12×9×15 cm的胸膜肿块。胸膜肿块活检显示为患者间变性脑膜瘤的转移灶。脑膜瘤的颅外转移极为罕见（≤0.1%-0.2%的病例），但对患者的预后很重要。
