The majority of benign meningiomas exhibit a slow growth rate and are associated with good prognosis. recurrence extracranial metastases meningioma rare. present report describes the case patient transitional for which total resection had been performed 8 years prior. Furthermore, transformed into atypical meningioma, metastasized to ribs. aimed describe clinical features pathological findings ...

Aim. To analyze the clinicopathological features of meningioangiomatosis (MA) associated with meningioma. Methods. We present one case of MA associated with meningioma. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were used. Results. The age of the patient was 33-year-old man. Histopathologically, MA was characterized by vascular proliferation with perivascular meningothelial cells an...

Beyond the WHO classification of meningioma: using molecular diagnostics to guide management. Advancements in profiling meningioma are providing greater accuracy prognostication tumours.

Meningiomas are slow-growing tumors, which are generally considered to be benign and rarely metastasize. Although cases of extracranial metastatic meningioma have previously been reported, multiple pulmonary metastases from a benign intracranial meningioma is particularly rare. In the present report, a case of recurrent transitional meningioma with multiple lung nodules, which were demonstrated...

Introduction: The primary and definitive diagnosis of meningioma is based on histological assessment; however, employing imaging methods, like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is very helpful to describe lesion’s characteristics. Accordingly, we decided to study the effect of imaging factors, like MRI data on the volume of hemorrhage (estimated blood loss) during meningioma surgery. Methods: T...

introduction: the co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. it is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. methods: the tumours were diagnosed on mri in the 65-year-old...

Meningioma is well known as common disease of the central nervous system, whereas primary extracranial meningioma is rare, representing 1% to 2% of all meningiomas. We have experienced a case of primary extracranial meningioma presenting as a right cheek mass. The tumor was completely excised via a right lateral rhinotomy incision. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of primary ...
