Grade III meningioma with gastro-intestinal tract and brain metastases: case report and review of the literature

Background Meningioma is the most common adult primary intracranial tumor. Malignant meningioma is a rare variant of meningioma. The prognosis for the patients with these tumors is poor, due to the tumor’s capacity for relapse and to develop distant metastases. These tumors can present the same evolutionary course as aggressive carcinoma.
