Primary pulmonary meningioma: a case report and literature review
PPM usually presents as an asymptomatic, solitary, or occasionally multiple, well-circumscribed pulmonary nodule. Needle biopsy alone may result in misdiagnosis due to sampling limitations. Definitive diagnosis requires a combination of immunohistochemical analysis (e.g., SSTR2) and evaluation of the complete surgical specimen.
