An asymptomatic 68-year-old woman, with a history of breast cancer 19 years ago, was unexpectedly found to have primary pulmonary meningioma during medical evaluation. This discovery is exceedingly rare, with only about 70 cases reported worldwide. Following uncomplicated surgical removal of the mass, the patient was discharged in good health on the third day after the procedure. Notably, initial analysis of a frozen tissue sample indicated hamartoma, but subsequent immune-histochemical pathological examination confirmed the presence of meningioma. Given the uncommon nature of this tumor, it is essential to report such cases to raise awareness about pulmonary meningioma as a potential cause of solitary lung nodules. This awareness can help prevent unnecessary chemotherapy or surgical interventions.
一名68岁无症状女性，19年前有乳腺癌病史，在医学评估期间意外发现患有原发性肺脑膜瘤。这一发现极为罕见，全球仅报告约70例。在顺利切除肿块后，患者术后第三天健康出院。值得注意的是，对冷冻组织样本的初步分析显示为错构瘤，但随后的免疫组织化学病理检查证实为脑膜瘤。鉴于这种肿瘤的罕见性，报告此类病例以提高对肺脑膜瘤作为孤立性肺结节潜在病因的认识至关重要。这种认识有助于避免不必要的化疗或手术干预。
