Dural metastasis masquerading as an en plaque meningioma

Dural metastasis masquerading as an en plaque meningioma

Metastatic adenocarcinoma mimicking meningioma is rare; and any metastatic lesion masquerading as an en plaque meningioma is extremely rare. We report the case of a 50-year-old female, who presented with headache and left hemiparesis for 1 month and on imaging showed a dural-based enhancing mass alo...
