Abstract

Although meningioma is mainly a central nervous system tumor, primary pulmonary meningioma is a rare lung neoplasm located outside the central nervous system. There is no clear consensus on its origin. A 42-year-old female patient, without any pre-diagnosis or symptom, was admitted to our clinic due to an incidentally detected lesion on chest X-ray during routine controls. The lesion in the lower lobe of the left lung was successfully resected by surgical intervention. In this study; primary pulmonary meningioma was examined because of its rarity and presented with the literature data.
