Abstract
A 58-year-old female, with a previous history of radical resection of malignant schwannoma arising in the maxillary sinus, presented with a metastasis to the dura mater following lung metastases 15 years after the initial diagnosis. A large mass at the left temporal region was totally removed immediately after an intratumoral hemorrhage. She subsequently died of massive hemoptysis. Although the prognosis is poor for patients with malignant schwannoma, aggressive treatment including radical surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is recommended.
