Intracranial Metastases from Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Abstract

Although intracranial metastases from malignant pleural mesothelioma are rare, their presence should be suspected in cases of high-grade mesothelioma and should possibly be included in routine preoperative evaluation. An unusual case of cerebral metastases from pleural mesothelioma is presented and the literature is reviewed.
