Abstract: | We report a case of ring-enhanced malignant meningioma mimicking a solitary brain metastasis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma. This misleading situation is rarely encountered and has not been documented previously. Considering the low incidence of brain metastases from a renal cell carcinoma staged T1-2 without systemic metastases, a clinical diagnosis requires circumspection, and both primary and metastatic tumors should be considered when a solitary brain lesion is encountered. |
