A: Meningioma
B: Dural metastases (DM)
DM in isolation is rare, comprising <1% of all intracranial metastases, and most commonly originates from renal, lung, and breast cancer, as well as carcinoid, adenoid cystic carcinoma, prostatic adenocarcinoma (PCa), and dermatofibrosarcoma
B: Dural metastases (DM)
DM in isolation is rare, comprising <1% of all intracranial metastases, and most commonly originates from renal, lung, and breast cancer, as well as carcinoid, adenoid cystic carcinoma, prostatic adenocarcinoma (PCa), and dermatofibrosarcoma
Transdural metastases may mimick meningiomas in radiologic imaging, especially in patients with undiagnosed symptoms of prostatism or PCa.
In older men with dural lesion(s), a possibility of PCa metastases must be considered and radiologic evaluation
