Summary

Multiple meningiomas (MMs) are rare, especially those with varying histological features. This case highlights MMs presenting with both malignant and benign characteristics, challenging current understanding of their origin.

Background:

Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors, with multiple meningiomas (MMs) occurring in 1-9% of cases.
MMs typically present with identical histopathological features, suggesting a monoclonal origin.
The presence of MMs without neurofibromatosis is uncommon.

Observation:

This report details an exceptionally rare instance of MMs exhibiting simultaneous malignant and benign histological features.
The patient did not present with the typical stigmata of neurofibromatosis.

Findings:

While subarachnoid spread is a hypothesized mechanism for MM formation, the differing histological features in this case challenge monoclonal origin theories.
The findings suggest a potential multicentric origin activated by a tumor-producing factor, though independent progression from a monoclonal origin cannot be excluded.

Implications:

This case underscores the complexity of meningioma development and the need for further research into the etiology of MMs with diverse histologies.
Understanding the origins of such rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in neuro-oncology.
