Metastatic meningioma to the liver successfully treated with a wedge resection and radiation therapy: report of a case.
Meningiomas account for approximately 15%-20% of all primary brain tumors. Metastatic meningiomas are rare. Less than 100 cases of extracranial metastatic meningiomas have been reported in the literature. An unusual case of metastatic meningioma to the liver successfully treated by a surgical resection and radiation therapy is presented.
