Primary intraosseous meningioma: case report
Journal of Neuro-Oncology
|May 1, 1992
Abstract:
A case of 72-year-old Japanese woman with a rare intraosseous meningioma is presented. The tumor was located in the right frontoparietal region, involving the coronal suture. The tumor was excised totally and the pathological diagnosis was meningioma. Similar cases reported in the past literature are reviewed and the possible histogenetic mechanism of the tumor is discussed.
Insights
A rare intraosseous meningioma in a 72-year-old woman was successfully removed. This case highlights the importance of understanding rare bone tumors and their origins.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Intraosseous meningiomas are rare tumors arising from ectopic meningothelial cells within the bone.
- They can mimic other bone lesions, posing diagnostic challenges.
Observation:
- A 72-year-old Japanese woman presented with a rare intraosseous meningioma.
- The tumor was located in the right frontoparietal region, involving the coronal suture.
Findings:
- The intraosseous meningioma was completely excised.
- Pathological diagnosis confirmed it as a meningioma.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the understanding of rare intraosseous meningiomas.
- Reviewing similar cases aids in discussing the potential histogenetic mechanisms of these tumors.
