[Meningioma of the scalp. Apropos of a case]
Pediatrie
|April 1, 1986
Abstract:
The authors report a case of scalp meningioma in a five-months old baby. The mass was removed totally and the following neuroradiological studies proved the absence of an intracranial meningioma. They present the histogenesis of the meningioma and Lopez's classification.
Insights
A rare scalp meningioma was fully removed from a five-month-old infant. Subsequent imaging confirmed no intracranial meningioma, detailing the tumor's origin and classification.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Oncology
- Developmental Biology
Background:
- Scalp meningiomas are rare pediatric tumors.
- Understanding their histogenesis is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
- Lopez's classification provides a framework for categorizing meningiomas.
Observation:
- A case of a scalp meningioma in a five-month-old infant is presented.
- The tumor was completely excised.
- Neuroradiological studies were performed post-surgery.
Findings:
- The surgical removal of the scalp meningioma was total.
- Post-operative neuroradiological evaluations ruled out any intracranial meningioma.
- The study discusses the histogenesis and Lopez's classification of the meningioma.
Implications:
- This case highlights the possibility of pediatric scalp meningiomas.
- Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment.
- Further research into pediatric meningioma classification and origins is warranted.
