Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Meningiomas are typically adult tumors.
  • Pediatric meningiomas are rare and less understood.
  • Understanding their characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical and pathological features of pediatric meningiomas.
  • To identify common presentations and characteristics in children.
  • To contribute to the knowledge base of rare pediatric tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 pediatric meningioma cases.
  • Histological verification of all tumors.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, tumor location, size, and pathological findings.

Main Results:

  • A 1:1 sex ratio was observed.
  • Two patients presented with seizures.
  • Most tumors were supratentorial and large.
  • Sarcomatous changes were noted in 4 cases.
  • Cystic features were present in 6 cases.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric meningiomas present unique characteristics compared to adult counterparts.
  • Supratentorial location and large size are common.
  • The presence of sarcomatous or cystic changes warrants further investigation.
