Computed tomography findings of primary pulmonary meningioma: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 January
RATIONALE: Primary pulmonary meningiomas are extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. Imaging findings of primary pulmonary meningiomas have been reported even more rarely.
PATIENT CONCERNS: We present the case of a 54-year-old male patient with cough and sputum lasting for 20 years. This was a case of primary pulmonary meningioma with initial suspicion of a chest wall intercostal neurinoma.
DIAGNOSES: A lung lesion was detected on chest computed tomography (CT) imaging 4 years ago. This case appeared as a solitary well-defined round nodule close to the left chest wall, with heterogeneous enhancement on CT, which inaccurately led to the suspicion of a chest wall intercostal neurinoma.
INTERVENTIONS: A thoracoscopic wedge resection was performed.
OUTCOMES: The postoperative histological diagnosis was primary pulmonary meningioma. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient is still alive without evidence of metastasis or recurrence.
LESSONS: Increased awareness of the CT characteristics of this rare tumor may broaden the radiologist's knowledge base.
