Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a known but rare occurrence and is characterized as 2 distinct tumor types in same anatomic location. We present a rare case of intracranial tumor-to-tumor metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma into meningioma. Our case emphasizes the rare occurrence of intracranial tumor-to-tumor metastasis and importance of histology and immunohistochemical analysis in distinguishing between metastasis and meningioma, especially when faced with ambiguous demarcation. Awareness of this occurrence is crucial, given that metastases might be the initial indication of an underlying tumor and it can impact the clinical management decisions.
