Meningiomas are mostly benign, slowly-growing, non-metastatic, particularly limited to the central nervous system, however, they were occasionally reported for spreading to distant organs. While the risk factors still remain widely unknown for metastasis of menin-giomas, the histopathological type and size of tumor are predicted to be predisposing factors for it. We aimed to discuss a possible new pre-disposing factor, which is contiguity of intracranial meningiomas to the dural sinuses, for metastasis to the body by presenting a case with metastatic cavernous meningioma and literature research. We presented a rare case that has been treated for cavernous sinus meningioma and then diagnosed with malign meningioma metastasis to the lung. We speculated that meningiomas adherent to the dural sinuses may be more inclined to distant organ metastasis, and they might use dural sinuses for seeding. This hypothesis can be likely verified by large case series, and this case report may inspire further investigations.
