Co-existing fibrous dysplasia and meningothelial meningioma.

Dr. Raphael Vicente Alves – Rua Estado de Israel 907 / 31 04022-002 São Paulo SP Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Co-existing fibrous dysplasia and meningothelial meningioma is extremely rare. A search at “PubMed” (U.S. National Library of Medicine) with terms “fibrous”, “dysplasia” and “meningioma” demonstrated a total of 7 cases reported. Three cases in association with McCune-Albright syndrome, two cases in the Chinese literature, one case with multiple globoid meningiomas with craniomandibular fibrous dysplasia, and one reported case of atypical lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of co-existing fibrous dysplasia and meningothelial meningioma with histopathological diagnosis.
