Tumor-to-Tumor Metastasis of Prostatic Adenocarcinoma in Transitional Meningioma: A Case Report and Literature Review
Metástase de tumor para tumor de adenocarcinoma prostático em meningioma transicional: Relato de caso e revisão da literatura
Abstract
Benign and malignant tumors can be receivers of tumors from other sites. Intracranial prostate metastasis is a rare phenomenon. Implantation of prostate metastasis in a meningioma is an exceptional condition. The article presents a case of metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma implanted in a transitional meningioma of the left frontal convexity, in which the patient began with neurological symptoms and had no previous diagnosis of prostate neoplasia.
Resumo
Tumores benignos e malignos podem ser receptores de implantes de tumores de outros locais. A metástase intracraniana do câncer de próstata é um fenômeno raro. A implantação de metástase de adenocarcinoma de próstata em um meningioma é uma condição excepcional. O artigo apresenta um caso de metástase de adenocarcinoma prostático implantado em um meningioma transicional de convexidade frontal à esquerda, no qual o paciente iniciou com sintomas neurológicos e não tinha diagnóstico prévio de neoplasia prostática.
