Hepatic metastasis from a meningeal hemangiopericytoma: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2020 July 32
INTRODUCTION: A meningeal hemangiopericytoma (MHPC) is an aggressive tumor characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and late distant metastasis. The objective of this study was to share our experience with the treatment of a MHPC and how to distinguish this tumor from a meningioma.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 62-year-old woman presented with symptoms of hypomnesia, hyperopia, and double vision for 1 month. Complete tumor excision was performed 6 years before. A biopsy sample was diagnosed as an atypical meningioma.
DIAGNOSIS: MHPC with late delayed hepatic metastasis.
INTERVENTION: Hepatic resection was performed initially, followed by secondary neurosurgery for complete excision of the bilateral frontal lesion 1 month later.
OUTCOME: Based on the tumor pathology and consensus of oncologic surgeons, radiation therapy was initiated. Adjuvant therapy was well-tolerated and the patient remained recurrence-free at 6 months after surgery.
CONCLUSION: Here, we report a case of local brain tumor recurrence and multiple hepatic metastases from a MHPC. Craniotomy combined with radical metastasectomy may be useful in such cases. Detailed immunohistochemical staining is helpful to distinguish a MHPC from a meningioma. Long-term follow-up is recommended.
