Meningiomas with different histological grade in the same patient

Abstract: Rationale:Meningiomas are mostly regarded as benign tumors histologically,accounting for 13% to 26% of all primary intracranial tumors.It is testified that multiple meningiomas occur in <10% of cases.A case of concurrent grades I and II in the same patient in our hospital was described.Patient concern:A 66-year-old man who was experiencing headache and weakening in the left limbs, which gradually improved.Then, the myodynamia of left limb was weakening to level 3 and the muscular tension of left limbwas too st… Show more

“…Koh et al12 reported a case of MMs with both malignant and benign histological features and proposed MMs originated from multicentric neoplastic foci. Similarly, Liu et al11 showed the coexistence of fibrous meningioma (WHO grade I) and atypical meningioma (WHO grade II) in the same patient. More recently, Tsermoulas et al29 reviewed a total of 133 consecutive patients with MMs for over 25 years and 18 patients had surgical removal of more than one meningioma.…”

“…However, the incidence of sporadic MMs in patients without a history of NF2 is low 10. It is much less common to find these sporadic MMs bearing different histological features in the same patient 11. The etiology of MM is still being debated because of two hypotheses for the development of MMs, ie, monoclonal or independent 12.…”

“…The incidence of meningioma is apparently rising not only due to improved and extensive neuroimaging but also due to increased proportion of the elderly population where it has the common occurrence [10]. The higher incidence of meningioma in adult females reported in recent literature in contrast to previous reports of male preponderance is highly attributed to various reproductive and hormonal factors [11].…”

“…Arachnoid cap cells are the usual sites for origin of most meningiomas with majority being benign. Less percentage of meningioma show signs of malignancy like marked vascularity; lack of internal organoid architecture; higher percentage of mitotic figures, nuclear pleomorphism; disproportionately large nucleolus, focal necrosis and infiltration in to brain parenchyma along with variable expression of Ki-67, a marker for tumor recurrence in atypical and anaplastic meningiomas [10,12,13].…”

“…A widely accepted hypothesis for multiple meningiomas is spread of clones of neoplastic cells through cerebrospinal fluid as well as hematogenous spread [3]. Different etiological factors were considered in the development of meningiomas, one of which is deletion of chromosome 22 in patients with type II neurofibromatosis.…”
