title: Multiple extra-axial adenocarcinomas mimicking meningiomas: a case report.
abstract: We present the case of multiple meningeal tumours in the right sphenoid ridge and left parafalcine region. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed homogenous enhancement. The histopathological examination revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of both lesions. Metastatic adenocarcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dural-base lesions and the definitive diagnosis should only be established after the histopathological report.
