    Abstract:
    We recently encountered a 68-year-old woman with right sphenoid wing meningioma of the secretory type accompanied by an elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen level. This case was neuroradiologically characterized by marked brain edema. Histologically, the lesion was rated as having meningothelial components and was rich in blood vessels and pseudopsammoma bodies. Carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial membrane antigen, keratin, and cytokeratin were immunohistochemically detected in the pseudopsammoma bodies and the cells producing these bodies.
