Cystic Angiomatous Meningioma: A Diagnostic Dilemma

چکیده
Differential diagnosis of a solid cystic lesion in supratentorial location includes glioma,1 meningioma,2 metastatic tumor,3 or hemangioblastoma.1 Cystic meningioma is relatively a rare tumor.2 Among various histological variants of meningioma, the meningothelial type most frequently demonstrates cystic changes.3 Richly vascularized meningiomas of the angiomatous type were reported only in a few cases4 and literature concerning the angiomatous variant of meningioma with cyst formation is limited.5–7 The authors are presenting a case of angiomatous meningioma in association with prominent cystic changes mimicking supratentorial hemangioblastoma along with a literature review.

متن کاملInfratentorial benign cystic meningioma mimicking a hemangioblastoma radiologically and a pilocytic astrocytoma intraoperatively: a case report
INTRODUCTION Cystic meningiomas are rare variants of meningiomas; they can pose a radiological diagnostic dilemma. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case of a 30-year-old Chinese woman with a histopathological diagnosis of infratentorial cystic meningioma (World Health Organization Grade 1) in which the features in imaging modalities were suggestive of a hemangioblastoma. Intraoperatively, ...
متن کاملNodular Cystic Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Trunk: a Diagnostic Dilemma in an Unsuspecting Youth
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly affects the elderly and is mostly confined to the head and neck region. Only 10% of all cases occur on the trunk. We presented a case of bullous lesion on the abdomen in a young male, initially diagnosed by clinicians as a vascular nevus. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed it to be Nodular cystic variant of BCC. This rare va...
