“…This is due to the short survival clinical course of MPM [4]. The multiple cases of brain metastasis from MPM recorded were discovered after death [5][6][7]. This is a rare case of known MPM with distant brain metastases, which encourages further radiological investigations in the presence of symptoms.…”

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) typically has a short median survival of only a few months from diagnosis, with death usually due to thoracic disease. This has led to the belief in the past that mesothelioma rarely has distant metastasis, with cerebral metastasis accounting for only 3%. The multiple cases of brain metastasis from MPM recorded so far were discovered after death at autopsy. This report describes a rare case of known malignant mesothelioma with distant haemorrhagic metastasis to the brain, reviews current literature about its metastatic potential to the brain and discusses prognosis and management. We also review the imaging evaluation in known MPM patients with suspected intracranial involvement and describe typical imaging findings of parenchymal brain metastasis on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Malignant pleural mesothelioma usually has a median survival of only nine months from diagnosis, with death usually due to thoracic disease. This has led to the belief in the past, that mesothelioma rarely has distant metastasis with cerebral metastasis accounting for only three percent. This is a unique case of known malignant mesothelioma with distant haemorrhagic metastasis to the brain. This article reviews the imaging evaluation of patients with suspected intracranial involvement and malignant pleural mesothelioma and describes typical imaging findings of parenchymal brain metastasis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The incidence of haemorrhagic brain metastasis and various treatment option have also been briefly discussed.
