  • Title: Extracranial osseous metastases from intracranial meningioma.
    Author: Palmer JD, Cook PL, Ellison DW.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1994; 8(2):215-8. PubMed ID: 7917096.
    Abstract:
    A biopsy of a fifth lumbar vertebral lesion confirmed that an intracranial meningioma had metastasized 12 years after the diagnosis of the primary tumour. A literature review reports 25 cases of extracranial osseous metastases from meningioma. The mechanisms of spread are discussed as is the role of surgery in the seeding of such tumours.
