  • Title: Two-year survival after multiple bilateral lung metastasectomies for cranial meningioma.
    Author: D'Aiuto M, Veronesi G, Pelosi G, Presicci PF, Ferraroli GM, Gasparri R, Spaggiari L.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2005 Sep; 80(3):1129-30. PubMed ID: 16122512.
    Abstract:
    The lung represents a common site of metastases from extrathoracic malignancies, and several studies have strengthened the evidence that complete resection of pulmonary metastases is a useful therapeutic treatment for prolonged survival in selected patients. However, fewer data are available in the literature regarding the role of lung metastasectomy in rare malignancy. We present a case of extensive bilateral lung metastases due to recurrent cranial meningioma, which was successfully treated by aggressive, staged metastasectomies.
