A case of meningioma with marked extracranial remote metastases is described. The patient was a 33‐year‐old female and was operated according to a diagnosis of parasagittal meningioma in both frontal lobes. Nine years later, however, she died of local recurrence and extracranial metastases in the lungs, liver, pancreas and vertebrae. Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as angioblastic meningioma with high cellularity, some mitotic figures and abundant intersecting network of reticulin fibers frequently outlining vascular architectures.
