Intracranial fibromatous tumors are rare. This case highlights cerebral angiofibroma, a rare brain tumor with fibrous and vascular components, diagnosed in a patient with seizures.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pathology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Intracranial fibromatous tumors are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases in medical literature.
  • Cerebral angiofibromas represent a distinct subtype, characterized by both fibrous and vascular neoplastic elements.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old male presented with seizures attributed to a long-standing cystic lesion in the left occipital lobe.
  • Progressive seizure activity prompted advanced imaging, revealing a large cyst with an associated tumor nodule.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection via left occipital craniotomy allowed for tumor removal.
  • Histopathological examination, including immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural analysis, confirmed the diagnosis of cerebral angiofibroma, noting its fibrous and angiomatous components.

Implications:

  • Cerebral and meningeal fibromas are distinct from solitary fibrous tumors and fibrous meningiomas.
  • The presence of significant vascularity in fibromas warrants consideration of an angiofibroma diagnosis.
  • Previously classified nodular brain tumors, such as meningioangiomatosis, may be re-evaluated and potentially reclassified as cerebral or meningeal angiofibromas.
