چکیده

giomas on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are easily identified and hence, easy to diagnose (1). However, certain meningioma subtypes have unusual imaging findings, making it difficult to diagnose them as well as determining the appropriate treatment protocol. This is particularly true for rare meningioma subtypes, which include the angiomatous meningioma, which shows unusual imaging features compared to ordinary meningiomas. To our knowledge, there are few studies regarding angiomatous meningiomas that describe both pathological and clinical features (2, 3). Moreover, their imaging features have not been reported thus far. In this paper, we aimed to characterize the CT and MR imaging features of angiomatous meningiomas.

Primary intraosseous meningioma of the mandible: CT and MR imaging features.

We describe the rare entity of an intraosseous meningioma arising in the mandible. The meningioma was found incidentally in an asymptomatic adult patient on dental radiography, mimicking other cystic-appearing jaw masses. The CT and MR imaging features of mandibular meningioma are reviewed with reference to prior published descriptions of this unusual entity.

Microcystic Meningioma - Unusual Variant of Meningiomas

Meningiomas are common benign tumors accounting for 13% to 18% of intracranial neoplasms. They are generally known to be solid tumors and their classical appearance on the computed tomography(CT) scan and magnetic resonance(MR) image usually lead to a correct diagnosis. Meningiomas have been subdivided into a variety of types, including meningotheliomatous, fibrous, transitional, psammomatous, ...

Angiomatous meningiomas have a distinct genetic profile with multiple chromosomal polysomies including polysomy of chromosome 5

Meningiomas are a diverse group of tumors with a broad spectrum of histologic features. There are over 12 variants of meningioma, whose genetic features are just beginning to be described. Angiomatous meningioma is a World Health Organization (WHO) meningioma variant with a predominance of blood vessels. They are uncommon and confirming the histopathologic classification can be challenging. Giv...

Intraventricular meningiomas: MR imaging and MR spectroscopic findings in two cases.

CT, MR imaging, MR spectroscopy, and angiography were performed in two men (ages 21 and 48, respectively) with intraventricular meningioma. In both cases, CT and MR imaging showed large tumors located in the trigone of the right lateral ventricle that enhanced intensely after contrast administration. MR spectroscopy was helpful in supporting a preoperative diagnosis of meningioma in both cases.

Clinical characteristics and treatment of angiomatous meningiomas: a report of 27 cases.

Angiomatous meningioma (AM) is a rare histological variant of meningioma. Twenty seven patients (14 male and 13 female) with angiomatous meningioma were treated in our institution. Their clinical presentation, neuroimaging studies, treatment and follow-up were investigated. The age of patients ranged from 24 to 72 years with a mean of 51.8 years. The clinical presentation was non-specific and d...
