Primary calvarial meningiomas

British Journal of Neurosurgery

|February 25, 1998

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Meningiomas can present as calvarial masses with scalp swelling and bone erosion. This study details four cases, including one entirely within the bone, highlighting diverse presentations of these skull tumors.

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Oncology
Radiology

Background:

Meningiomas are tumors arising from the meninges.
Calvarial meningiomas are rare, often presenting as palpable masses.
Diagnosis relies on clinical, radiological, and pathological evaluation.

Observation:

Four patients with calvarial masses diagnosed as meningiomas were analyzed.
Three cases showed scalp swelling and osteolytic skull lesions on radiographs.
These lesions eroded both tables of the skull with extradural soft tissue components.

Findings:

One case presented as an entirely intraosseous meningioma, a rare subtype.
Radiographic findings included osteolysis and soft tissue masses.
Histopathological confirmation is crucial for definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

Understanding diverse presentations of calvarial meningiomas is vital for accurate diagnosis.
Early detection through imaging can prevent extensive bone erosion.
Further research into intraosseous meningiomas may improve treatment strategies.
