Abstract: | Primary pulmonary meningioma is an uncommon, usually benign, soft tissue tumour which has rarely been reported. We report an additional case of primary pulmonary meningioma occurring in an asymptomatic 56-year-old man whose diagnosis was only established after resection. The features of this lesion together with a review of the previous literature are described. |
