Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 53 años de edad estudiado por presentar un nodulo pulmonar solitario con cambios radiológicos evolutivos en el último año, afectado de una metástasis pulmonar de meningioma benigno que había sido diagnosticado por punción-aspiración transtorácica. Se analiza lo infrecuente de esta patología y se discute la necesidad de considerarla en aquellos pacientes con antecedente de meningioma independientemente de la benignidad de la lesión primaria y del tiempo de evolución de la misma, ya que la resección quirúrgica precoz de la metástasis resuelve satisfactoriamente esta complicación.

We report a 53-year-old man with a solitary pulmonary nodule and signs of disease progression in chest films taken in the last year with lung metastasis from benign meningioma diagnosed by transthoracic puncture and aspiration. The rarity of this condition is discussed along with the need to include it as a differential diagnosis in patients with recurring meningioma even when the primary lesion is benign, given that early surgical resection of the metastasis resolves this complication.
