Surgical Outcome of Treating Grades II and III Meningiomas: A Report of 32 Cases
Aim. To evaluate the frequency of atypical and malignant meningiomas and analyze recurrence rate; to study the morbidity and mortality of these tumors compared to benign meningiomas. Methods. During 1992-2007, 16 patients with malignant and 16 patients with atypical meningioma were operated in Neurosurgery Department of Thessaloniki's Papanikolaou Hospital. We analyzed tumor histology, location...
متن کاملDNA Methylation in the Malignant Transformation of Meningiomas
Meningiomas are central nervous system tumors that originate from the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are pathologically benign or atypical, but 3-5% display malignant features. Despite previous studies on benign and atypical meningiomas, the key molecular pathways involved in malignant transformation remain to be determined, as does the extent of epigenetic a...
متن کاملCorrelation of histopathologic classification with proliferative activity and DNA ploidy in 120 intracranial meningiomas, with special reference to atypical meningioma.
Histologic classification of 120 meningiomas was correlated with their proliferative fraction and DNA ploidy using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry to differentiate histologically atypical meningiomas from benign ones. Histologically, the 120 meningiomas included 101 benign (43 meningotheliomatous, 40 transitional, 11 fibroblastic, 2 secretory, 2 microcystic, 2 angiomatous, and 1 psammom...
متن کاملDifferentiation between benign and malignant meningiomas using diffusion and perfusion MR imaging.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted (DW) and perfusion-weighted (PW) MR imaging to differentiate benign and malignant meningiomas which were verified histologically. A total of 29 patients with meningiomas (22 benign and 7 malignant) underwent conventional, perfusion and diffusion MR imaging. Conventional MRI revealed the ordinary signs of tumor. The ab...
متن کاملDifferent activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and Akt signaling is associated with aggressive phenotype of human meningiomas.
PURPOSE Activation of intracellular signaling cascades has been implicated in the growth control of benign meningiomas, but their role for meningioma progression and outcome is unknown. Here we determined the expression and function of proteins involved in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling in benign, atypical, and malignant meningiomas and ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of meningiomas: a pictorial review
UNLABELLED Meningiomas are the most common non-glial tumour of the central nervous system (CNS). There are a number of characteristic imaging features of meningiomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allow an accurate diagnosis, however there are a number of atypical features that may be diagnostically challenging. Furthermore, a number of other neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions m...
