Primary intraosseous meningioma: case report.
Journal of Neuro-Oncology
|May 1, 1992
Summary
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.
