摘要：
We present the case report of a 50-year-old man suffering from a frontal meningothelial meningioma (WHO grade I) with malignant transition and metastases in the lung, scalp, skin and bone. Fractionated radiation, though a fundamental part of therapy in progressive and malignant meningiomas, did not prevent tumour progression in our case. In our case, the tumour progressed under the application of Sandostatin® and salvage therapy with Avastin® and Campto®. Therapeutic strategies are reviewed and discussed.
