“…At our institution, 425 craniotomies were performed for metastatic disease during a 3-year period, but only 22 were performed for a solitary MTDE. Reports of this type of metastatic tumor, in which single or very small numbers of cases are described, 5,9,10,14,16,19,22,23,26,28,30 also support the relative rarity of this type of lesion. Small, asymptomatic lesions may be more common, however.…”

“…18,29 Metastatic lesions that are based on or abutting the dura are much less common. Case reports and small series have contained descriptions of subdural hematomas, 14,22,28,30 neurological deficits, 10,17 and radiographic similarity to meningiomas 5,9,20,24,26,30 in these tumors. We have had concerns that patients with metastatic tumors with dural extension (MTDEs) would have a poorer outcome as a result of their higher incidences of recurrent disease and leptomeningeal disease relative to patients having subcortical lesions.…”

“…Goldsher et al (1990) stated that the dural tail was not seen in other extra-axial tumours and that it was specific for meningiomas. However, recent reports have determined that this sign is also observed in chloroma, lymphoma, sarcoidosis (Tien et al, 1991), metastasis (Toye and Jeffree, 1993), and vestibular schwannoma (Kutcher et al, 1991;Paz-Fumagalli et al, 1991;Lunardiera/., 1993).…”

“…2,5,11,13,15) Previously dural tail sign was reported to be specific for meningiomas, 4) but is now considered to be nonspecific and may be associated with other duralbased lesions. 13,15,19) MR spec troscopy may be valuable for the differential diagno sis of dural metastatic tumors and meningiomas prior to embolization because a pattern of lipid and/or lactate signals are only observed in the metastatic tumors. 1) On the other hand, the use of MR spectroscopy is limited to very large metastases in the differential diagnosis of dural metastatic tumors and meningiomas prior to embolization.…”

“…9) Dural metastatic tumors may also present with radiographic similarities to meningiomas. 7,19) We treated a young female with a dural mass lesion that was initially considered to be a petroclival meningioma but was finally identified as a metastatic adenocarcinoma originating from the lung.…”
