“…Angiomas comprise about 2% of intracranial lesions but have been reported as high as 7.8% in a series described by Courville [2] in the United States. Angiomas may be found in combination with other tumors in the neuraxis and various neoplastic mixtures have been described in recent years (viz) angiomas with astrocytoma [1,[3][4][5], colloid cysts [ 61, meningioma [7], and neurilemmoma [ 8 ] . The angiomatous proliferation in certain gliomas is often passed off as vascular proliferation and is rarely considered to constitute a distinct and separate neoplastic change [S].…”

Ten patients in whom tissue proliferation akin to angioglioma occurred within the brain are described; seven of the lesions were supratentorial and three infratentorial. Only 31 accepted instances of such neoplasms have been found in the literature. The combined lesions usually become symptomatic in the second and third decades. In all 10 cases, the angiomatous part of the combined tumors showed characteristic vascular malformation such as severe hyalinization, tortuosity, and some were even calcified. The number of abnormal blood vessels were excessive in all examples. The glial portion consisted of either astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, or mixtures of these gliomas. Dedifferentiation of the neuroglia combined with neoplastic endothelial proliferation indicates the true neoplastic nature rather than reactive gliosis associated with a vascular anomaly. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

“…Concerning the histology of the brain tumors involved in these cases, there were 12 cases of pilocytic astrocytoma [27,40], 10 of astrocytoma [3,6,8,15,29,30,33,35,36], 6 of malignant astrocytoma [13,18,25,34,36], 20 of oligodendroglioma [4,9,10,20,24,27,38], 3 of glioblastoma [7,19,36], 8 of meningioma [10,11,16,17,21,22,26,32], 5 of acoustic tumors [12], and 3 of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma [28,31,39]. Other tumors found in association with AVM include hemangioblastoma [5], hemangiopericytoma [22], ganglioneuroma, [23] subependymal giant astrocytomas [29], and craniopharyngioma [14].…”

“…[3,4] The studies on lipomatous meningioma are limited, and only 36 cases have been described in the literature. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In this study, we describe the clinical course, neuro-radiological features and morphology of 5 patients with lipomatous meningioma.…”

Lipomatous meningiomas are an uncommon subtype of meningiomas. In the present report, the clinical characteristics, neuroimaing and pathological features of 5 patients (4 males, 1 female; age range, 17-45 years; mean age, 35.2 years) with lipomatous meningioma were analyzed. The neuro-pathological reevaluation of lipomatous meningioma involved assessment of histological features proposed by the current WHO classification. The presence or absence of high whorls, fascicles, solid growth, glial invasion, necrosis and nuclear pleomorphism was assessed. The most common presenting symptom was seizures. Location of tumor was frontal (3 cases), parietal (1 case) and fronto-temporal (1 case). All cases showed radiological features of conventional meningioma. Complete excision of tumor along with involved dura was performed in all the patients. Three tumors were meningothelial and 2 were transitional. Tumoral lipid content was variable from 10% to 30%. In addition, there were microcystic features (2 cases) and psammoma bodies (1 case). No recurrence was noted in any of our cases till the last follow-up. Lipomatous meningioma represents a rare distinctive type of meningioma, with a good prognosis with complete removal.
