    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Multiple meningiomas, though rare at 1.5% incidence, share biological traits with solitary tumors. Clinical and radiological evaluations should consider the possibility of multiple meningiomas for accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Meningiomas are common primary tumors of the central nervous system.
    • The occurrence of multiple meningiomas necessitates specific diagnostic considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define diagnostic criteria for multiple meningiomas.
    • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of multiple meningiomas.
    • To explore the etiology of multiple meningiomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 934 meningioma cases (834 intracranial, 100 spinal).
    • Identification and analysis of cases diagnosed with multiple meningiomas.
    • Comparison of biological characteristics between solitary and multiple meningiomas.

    Main Results:

    • Identified 14 cases of multiple meningiomas, yielding an incidence of 1.5%.
    • Multiple meningiomas exhibited similar biological characteristics to solitary meningiomas.
    • The multicentric neoplastic foci hypothesis, potentially involving a tumor-producing factor, is considered the most plausible etiology.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate differential diagnosis is crucial for the correct terminology of multiple meningiomas.
    • Clinicians and radiologists must maintain a high index of suspicion for multiple meningiomas during patient evaluation.
    • Understanding the etiology may guide future research and therapeutic strategies.
