Case Report Isolated intracranial osteoblastic meningioma

چکیده
Osteoblastic meningioma is a subtypes of meningioma. Intracranial isolated osteoblastic meningioma is extremely unusual. We reported a case of osteoblastic meningioma in the right frontal region in a 15-year-old girl who presented with repeated unconsciousness for 20 days. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-defined calcified mass with CT value of 802.5 HU in the right frontal region next to the midline. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a 4×4×3 cm mass, appearing hypointense on both T1 and T2-weighted imaging and heterogeneous enhancement on contrast-enhanced imaging. A right frontal craniotomy via coronal approach was performed and a bony mass was found in the inferior frontal lobe without attachment of cerebral falx. Pathological examination of the neoplasm was osteoblastic meningioma. Due to its rarity, osteoblastic meningioma was usually misdiagnosed preoperatively. After reviewing related literature, we made differential diagnosis between central nervous system tumors with ossification or calcification and announced that intracranial well-defined calcified mass, even without attachment of convexities or Sylvian fissure, should also be considered as osteoblastic meningioma before operation.

Meningioma is considered as a benign central nervous system tumor that accounts for approximately 18% of all brain tumors. About 5% of meningioma tumors are malignant and have more aggressive clinical signs and worse prognosis compared to benign tumors. Extracranial metastasis of meningioma is rare but in the case of occurrence, it is more prevalent in lung, liver and lymph nodes. Osseous metas...

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an idiopathic histiocytic proliferation affecting the lymph nodes. Isolated intracranial RDD is rare and usually appears as a well-defined, dural-based lesion without lymphadenopathy. The clinical and radiological features of intracranial RDD are similar to meningioma. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are essential for a definitive diagnosis. This is a repo...

Meningioma is a common primary tumor of central nervous system. However, extracranial extension of the intracranial meningioma is unusual, and mostly accompanied the osteolytic change of the skull. We herein describe an atypical meningioma having extracranial extension with hyperostotic change of the skull. The patient was a 72-year-old woman who presented a large mass in the right frontal scal...
