Summary:The patient was a 66-year-old woman who underwent craniotomy for parasagittal meningioma in 1998, followed by re-excision for local recurrence in 2012. Thereafter, the local recurrence tended to enlarge, so she had been followed closely without treatment in consideration of a further risk of re-excision. A chest computed tomography (CT) conducted in 2011 showed left pulmonary nodules and an abdominal CT in 2019 revealed liver nodules. These nodules were growing apparently. We performed partial resection of the lingular segment and the left basal segmentectomy in 2019, and diagnosed as pulmonary metastases from meningioma. In 2020, we performed partial hepatectomy (S6, S5, and S2) and diagnosed as hepatic metastases from meningioma. We present a case of metachronous pulmonary and hepatic metastases from meningioma treated with surgical resections, with a review of the literature.
