[Meningioma with extracranial multiple metastases--a case report].

A case of meningioma with extracranial multiple metastases is reported in this paper. The patient was a 21 years old woman. The removal of the convexity meningioma and the surrounding intracerebral hematoma in the left occipital region was performed. The histological diagnosis of the tumor was malignant fibroblastic meningioma. The patient was given radiotherapy, 6000 rads in the whole brain. Two years later, the recurrence occurred. The metastasis appeared to the lung and six months later to the liver. There occurred an intraperitoneal bleeding from multiple liver metastases and the patient died in November, 1980. The mode and site of the metastases have been discussed with a review of the literature.
