Abstract
The authors report a case of solitary metastasis to the pancreas from an intracranial angioblastic meningioma (hemangiopericytoma) and discuss secondary (metastatic) tumors of the pancreas. A 65‐year‐old man developed a pancreatic tumor 15 years after the craniotomy was performed for a parasagittal meningioma. Histological investigation of the pancreatic tumor excised as a biopsy on exploratory laparotomy revealed a tumor identical to the intracranial meningioma. It was concluded that the intracranial angioblastic meningioma had recurred and metastasized to the pancreas.
