“…14 Another case with an angiosarcoma to meningioma metastasis was reported by Roy et al 15 Tumor-to-tumor metastasis to meningioma is rare, but more frequent than the combination with an angiosarcoma. 16 Our patient is-to the best of our knowledge-the only reported case of a meningioma and angiosarcoma in exactly the same location and direct neighborhood. There was no history of risk factors, especially not for exposure to any form of ionizing radiation, which is a well-known risk factor for both meningioma and angiosarcoma.…”

Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma with poor prognosis. Meningioma is the most frequent benign intracranial tumor. Despite the fact that meningiomas are mostly benign, bone and skin can be infiltrated. We report the rare case of an angiosarcoma on top of a meningioma with hyperostosis at exactly the same location mimicking a transosseous growth of a meningioma. An 84-year-old man presented with progressive swelling and ulcerous lesion of the forehead. The patient underwent surgery in an interdisciplinary setting together with a plastic surgeon, including resection of the intracranial tumor and infiltrated bone and skin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a meningioma and angiosarcoma in direct neighborhood. A preoperative biopsy of the skin tumor would have led initially to the correct diagnosis of an angiosarcoma and would have allowed a better planning of the operation and extent of resection.

“…Many authors have considered it difficult for clinicians to provide a specific preoperative diagnosis of TMM by imaging examination. [ 2 , 27 , 28 ] There are no conclusive MRI features. [ 25 , 27 , 28 ] Danisman Specialist et al suggested that perfusion MRI is an advantageous preoperative proposal for differential diagnosis of meningioma.…”

Rationale: Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a rare clinical phenomenon. Although meningioma is the most common intracranial recipient of cancer metastasis, only a few cases have been reported. We present a case of metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma into intracranial meningioma and review the published literature. Patient concerns: A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for a 1-month history of headache and pain in her lower extremities. Diagnosis: Brain and lumbar vertebral magnetic resonance imaging showed an intracranial space-occupying lesion in the right occipital region and spinal canal stenosis. Pulmonary computed tomography showed an irregular mass in the right upper lobe of the lung. The postoperative histological examination demonstrated adenocarcinoma metastasis to meningioma. Intervention: The patient underwent right occipital craniotomy for tumor removal and lumbar spinal canal decompression. Outcomes: There were no initial abnormal conditions after the operation. However, the patient died suddenly 7 days after surgery. Lessons: Tumor-to-meningioma metastasis is a rare but important phenomenon. According to previous reports, it is associated with rapid onset of symptoms and a poor prognosis. Histological examination is of great importance in diagnosis. The history and process of malignant carcinoma should be closely monitored.

“…Meningiomas contain a rich vascular network creating susceptible tissue for hematogenous metastases. 8 Meningiomas are slow growing and indolent tumors, have low metabolic rates, and are high in collagen and lipid content, which may provide a less competitive metabolic environment. 5 Cell adhesion molecules have been hypothesized to be the reason why some tumors metastasize to meningiomas.…”

Rectal carcinoid tumor metastasis to a skull base meningioma

et al. 2016

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors that most frequently develop in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs and have high potential for metastasis. Metastasis to the brain is rare, but to another intracranial tumor is extremely rare. Of the intracranial tumors, meningiomas are the most common to host metastases, which may be related to its rich vascularity and E-cadherin expression. We describe the case of a 65-year-old female with active chemotherapy-treated neuroendocrine carcinoma who presented with left-sided facial numbness, headaches, and blurry vision. Initial imaging revealed a 1 cm irregular dural-based left petrous apex mass suggestive of a meningioma that was re-imaged four months later as a rapidly enlarging, extra-axial, mass extending into the cavernous sinus, effacing Meckel's cave that resembled a trigeminal schwannoma. Pathology revealed a carcinoid tumor metastatic to meningioma. While the mass displayed characteristic imaging findings of a schwannoma, rapid growth in the setting of known active malignancy should prompt the clinician to consider mixed pathology from metastatic disease or a more aggressive meningioma.
