CT Features of Hyperostosing Meningioma En Plaque 853
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyperostosis of the sphenoid ridge or convexity of the skull associated with meningioma en plaque (MEP) is often confused with other hyperostosing conditions, such as fibrous dysplasia or osteoma. The authors present nine cases, six of them proven, of hyperostosing MEP with specific attention to the CT features. All nine cases had one or more CT features that were characteristic or suggestive of MEP. These included periosteal pattern of hyperostosis, inward bulging of the vault lesion, surface irregularity of the hyperostotic bone, and intracranial changes. The role of CT in evaluating MEP is compared with other neuroradiologic techniques. The results indicate that high-resolution CT is the neuroimaging method of choice in evaluating MEP.

We describe an initially misdiagnosed case of a meningioma en plaque of the temporal bone. The tumor had obliterated the external ear canal, induced a chronic inflammation and a cholesteatoma of the external and middle ear, and complicated with an external fistula and intracranial abscess formation. Massive bone involvement and scarce soft tissue component of the skull base meningioma en plaque...

The magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of intracranial meningioma typically is of an extraaxial mass that enhances intensely after contrast injection (1–3). However, difficulty in differentiating a meningioma from other processes can occur because of the tumor’s location or other features (1–5). En plaque meningioma can be difficult to image and can simulate other lesions, especially when near ...

Hyperostosis is the most common skull change associated with meningioma. Five hyperostosis cases of meningioma en plaque infiltrating the skull processed without previous decalcification of the bone tissue were investigated histologically and immunohistochemically with antibodies against somatostatin receptor 2A (SSR2A). Undecalcified bone biopsies embedded in methylmethacrylate and paraffin-em...

We report a patient with an uncommon presentation in the form of massive bilateral calvarial hyperostosis with bi-parasagittal en plaque meningioma. The tumour was removed by bilateral fronto-parieto-occipital craniotomies. The patient was subjected to post operative radiotherapy to reduce the chances of recurrance. The management of such a case is a surgical challenge.
