Pulmonary meningioma. A light- and electron-microscopic study.
A solitary subpleural lung tumor having the light- and electron-microscopic appearance of a typical meningioma is described. Its benign appearance and presence for 3 years without clinical or radiologic evidence of central nervous system tumor favor the lung as the primary site. Histogenesis is discussed and support for a subpleural origin is presented.
