88 meningiomas were found among 8,371 autopsies. 29 meningiomas were associated with extraneural primary malignancies. In 4 cases a carcinoma metastasized into a meningioma. This unexpected high frequency of carcinomas metastasizing into meningiomas could be an accidental event. The preferential occurrence of meningiomas in females and the disposition of breast cancer to metastasize to the vertebrae and meninges might be responsible for the high fraction of breast cancers among the malignant tumors with metastases in meningiomas.
在8371例尸检中发现了88例脑膜瘤。29例脑膜瘤与神经外原发性恶性肿瘤相关。在4例病例中，癌转移至脑膜瘤。癌转移至脑膜瘤这种意外的高频率可能是偶然事件。脑膜瘤在女性中更易发生，以及乳腺癌倾向于转移至椎骨和脑膜，可能是脑膜瘤转移的恶性肿瘤中乳腺癌占比高的原因。
