Here we report the case of a 65-year-old female with a histologically benign parietal falcine meningioma who developed multiple lung metastases 15 years after tumor resection. The meningioma was initially incompletely resected due to invasion of the sagittal sinus. Since it was diagnosed as a benign meningothelial meningioma Grade I WHO, the residual tumor was followed with serial imaging without adjuvant treatment. The patient subsequently developed lung lesions later identified as metastases. The lung lesions were successfully removed surgically and histologically diagnosed as meningothelial meningioma Grade I WHO. A repeat brain MRI revealed the known residual meningioma with no signs of interval tumor growth, but did demonstrate occlusion of the sagittal sinus. In the further course, the residual meningioma was completely removed. A review of the literature revealed only 15 well-documented cases of benign meningiomas that metastasized in an interval of up to 12 years after primary tumor resection. This case illustrates that histologically benign meningiomas Grade I WHO with stable disease of the primary tumor have the potential to develop hematogenous metastases even after a long time interval.
