High-grade spheno-orbital meningioma in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: Two case reports and literature review

Abstract: Background: Spheno-orbital meningiomas (SOMs) are often benign. The association of meningioma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rarely discussed in the literature. Here, we report two patients with high-grade, SOMs with a prolonged history of SLE and review the literature. Case Description: The first case is a 52-year-old female patient with a 15-year history of SLE diagnosis who was referred to our center with a 1-year history of proptosis and excessive tearing of the left eye. This patient was op… Show more

“…We showed that SLE patients had twice the risk of developing cancer of the meninges and spine, but not the brain (cerebrum/cerebellum). The lack of association between SLE and brain cancer confirms existing data, 2 but there are some data to suggest that SLE patients are susceptible to developing meningioma 68 . We did not find an increased odds of viral infections of the central nervous system at time zero.…”

“…The lack of association between SLE and brain cancer confirms existing data, 2 but there are some data to suggest that SLE patients are susceptible to developing meningioma. 68 We did not find an increased odds of viral infections of the central nervous system at time zero. Although, it is unclear what underlies the potential mechanism between SLE and these rare cancers, future studies could investigate the role of neuropsychiatric disease activity and cancer development of the nervous system.…”

“…Cell cycle process has been proved that it has an important role in the development of meningioma 58 . And, some reports showed that systemic lupus erythematosus and meningioma happened in a patient 59,60 , which may reveal that progression of meningioma may involve in the immune process and reaction. Next, the GSEA analysis proved that and identified some immune related pathways including activating and supressing.…”

“…Spheno-orbital meningiomas are usually low grade (Grade I). High-grade meningiomas, such as Grades II and III, in the spheno-orbital region are usually rare [31]. The exact cause and mechanism of bone hyperostosis in spheno-orbital meningioma remain unclear and subjected to debate.…”
