Spinal Intradural Extramedulary Capillary Hemangioma Mimicking Meningioma

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...

Primary Benign Intraosseous Meningioma on 18F-FDG PET/CT Mimicking Malignancy

We present a case of primary benign intraosseous meningioma in the sphenoid bone mimicking malignancy. A 44-year-old female patient who had a protruding right eye and headache came to our hospital. MRI showed a large, destructive, heterogeneously well-enhancing soft tissue mass in the right sphenoid bone suggesting malignancy. (18)F-FDG PET/CT showed a hypermetabolic mass in the same site with ...

Extradural Spinal Meningioma: Mimicking Metastasis

Meningiomas are usually arise within the dura, sometimes extend beyond it, but completely outside the dura are very rare. Spinal meningiomas represent around 10% of all meningiomas and, commonly occur as intradural extramedullary lesions. Purely extradural spinal meningiomas are very rare and only few cases are reported in literature. We describe a case of 50yr old female who presented with upp...

Intraosseous meningioma mimicking a metastasis.

To cite: Tang V, Lam M, Lai A. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014207633 DESCRIPTION In an elderly woman with a history of malignancy, a skull lesion is most often thought of as metastasis. Bone involvement is found in 70% of postmortem examinations of patients with cancer. The discovery of presumed metastatic disease portends a poor prognosis, es...
