Author(s): Hossam Elshekhali

Primary pulmonary meningioma is an exceedingly rare and uncommon lung tumor that originates from the meningothelial cells of the pleura or the bronchial mucosa. Despite its rarity, understanding its clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies is essential for clinicians. This opinion article examines the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of primary pulmonary meningioma, highlighting the importance of distinguishing it from other lung tumors. With limited cases reported in the literature, this article aims to raise awareness of this rare tumor and encourage further research into its pathogenesis and optimal treatment approaches.
