Rhabdoid Meningioma Metastases Cervical Lymph Nodes: A Rare Clinical Case Report and Treatment Outcome
Meningioma is the most common central nervous system tumor that usually behaves benignly and has a good prognosis after treatment with tumor gross resection and with or without adjuvant therapy. Malignancy in meningioma is very rare and extracranial metastasis to cervical lymph nodes is even rarer....

Zusammenfassung: | Meningioma is the most common central nervous system tumor that usually behaves benignly and has a good prognosis after treatment with tumor gross resection and with or without adjuvant therapy. Malignancy in meningioma is very rare and extracranial metastasis to cervical lymph nodes is even rarer. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic rhabdoid meningioma. She had recurrent primary disease and metastasis to bilateral cervical lymph nodes. She previously had intracranial tumor twice resected. We also review relevant, previously published cases in the literature. I hope you find these suggestions helpful. |
