Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

A decreased concentration of glucose in the blood.

Incidental Metastatic Meningioma Presenting as a Large Liver Mass.

Case Reports Hepatol. 2018;2018:1089394.
Metastasis to the liver, although rare, usually presents with hypoglycemia or occurs in conjunction with a clinical history of an intracranial meningioma or following the resection of a prior CNS meningioma, thus making clinical diagnosis relatively easy.

J Neurooncol. 2000;47(1):51-8.
Hypoglycemia secondary to primary hepatoma or islet-cell cancer has been frequently described, but a complication of metastatic meningioma is an exceedingly rare event.

To the best of our knowledge, only one other case of a hepatectomy for liver metastases from an intracranial malignant meningioma has been reported in the literature, but there has never been any report of surgical treatment for a metastatic meningeal tumor in the liver associated with hypoglycemia.
