Objective

To discuss the MRI features of the intracranial lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma and the correlation between the MRI features and pathology.

Methods

Review retrospectively the MRI and pathologic data of seven patients with lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma which were confirmed by surgery and pathology.

Results

The seven cases of lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma were solitary, six cases demonstrated flat growth along the meninges, five cases had not yet formed specific nodules, and two cases exhibited irregular lobulation. Seven cases had no clear boundary, peritumoral brain edema was obvious and adjacent brain tissues were invaded to varying degrees. After plain MRI scans, the focuses of seven cases exhibited lower-isointense signal in T1WI, five cases revealed higher-isointense signal and two cases showed lower-isointense signal in T2WI. Enhancement scans demonstrated marked enhancement in seven cases, and the meninges in six cases thicken irregularly and extensively. Pathology showed the richness and diversity of cells, an infiltration containing plasma cells and lymphocytes, as well as the unequal areas of neoplastic spindle cells and meninge epithelial cells.

Conclusion

Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma is a subtype meningioma of WHO I-grade, which is seldom seen and whose imaging appearances are varied from ordinary meningioma. Its features include growing flat along the meninges, irregular forms, unclear boundary, obvious edema, notable strengthening effect, usual invasion of adjacent brain tissues, and similar inflammation.  相似文献

Clear cell meningiomas (CCM) are a very rare histologic subtype of meningioma usually affecting younger patients. The reported data on spinal CCM are extremely rare. Until today, only 89 cases have been reported. Furthermore, CCM without dural attachment is even rarer since only 19 cases have been reported in English literature. In this article, we present the twentieth case of a spinal CCM without dural attachment. Our patient was a 58-year-old female who was presented with pain in her lower back and bilateral sciatica for 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an intra-dural well-demarcated lesion at L3. Via a posterior approach, total resection was possible due to the lack of dural adhesion of the tumor. Histologic diagnosis was clear cell meningioma.  相似文献

Analysis of MR signal characteristics and histopathologic findings confirms the strong correlation between meningioma subtype and observed signal intensity (SI) changes in 24 patients imaged at 1.5 T. On T2-weighted images, 90% of fibroblastic and transitional tumors were hypointense relative to cerebral cortex (SI intermediate greater than SI T2-weighted images); conversely, 66% of meningothelial subtypes displayed persistent hyperintensity (SI intermediate less than or equal to SI T2-weighted images), and the remaining one-third demonstrated mixed high-signal changes. Subtype specific differences in collagen distribution and cellularity, i.e., tumor geometry, appeared to account for these signal trends. Based solely on SI characteristics, correct histologic subgrouping of tumors as either fibroblastic/transitional or meningothelial/angioblastic was possible in 80% (19 of 24) of patients. Utilization of adjunctive imaging features (i.e., mass effect, peritumoral edema, intratumoral cyst formation) in conjunction with signal changes permitted a correct histologic pattern in 96% (23 of 24) of patients.  相似文献

The clinical, imaging and pathological features of a skull base chordoid meningioma (CM) are described. The huge tumour resulted in obstructive hydrocephalus and partial erosion of the clivus such that a chordoma was suspected. The lesion's MRI findings were similar to those of a meningioma. Light microscopic, immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural features were diagnostic of CM. Chordoid meningioma is a rare subtype of meningioma and has a great tendency to recur should surgical resection be incomplete.  相似文献

Our objective was to semi-quantitatively evaluate the cerebral perfusion in the peritumoral brain edema of meningiomas using dynamic perfusion-weighted MR imaging. Six patients with intracranial meningiomas accompanied by peritumoral brain edema were prospectively examined by perfusion-weighted MR imaging. One patient was examined twice, once before and once 5 months after the surgical resection. The relative regional cerebral blood volume (rrCBV), the relative regional cerebral blood flow (rrCBF), and the relative regional mean transit time (rrMTT) were calculated for peritumoral brain edema and the contralateral white matter. These parameters were compared between peritumoral brain edema and the contralateral white matter. The time–concentration curve of the peritumoral brain edema was less prominent than that of the contralateral white matter, resulting in a significantly lower rrCBV (mean 46%) and rrCBF (mean 45%) in peritumoral brain edema than those of contralateral white matter. The serial perfusion-weighted MR imaging also demonstrated the recovery of these parameters after the removal of meningioma by means of surgical resection. Perfusion-weighted MR imaging can demonstrate significantly decreased rrCBV and rrCBF in peritumoral brain edema compared with those in normal white matter. Electronic Publication  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is a recently described variant of malignant meningioma, with radiologic features currently not well characterized in the medical literature. The purpose of this study was to describe and characterize clinical features and imaging findings associated with RM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT (n = 8) and MR (n = 15) images of 15 patients (4 men and 11 women; mean age, 52 years; range, 22-75 years) with 16 pathologically proved RMs along with associated clinical records were retrospectively reviewed. All of the patients underwent surgical resection and had additional radiation therapy except for 1 patient. After surgery, the patients had follow-up brain MR imaging to evaluate for tumor recurrence. RESULTS: Nine lesions (56%) were located in the cerebral convexity, and 4 lesions (25%) were located in the parasagittal areas. The tumors were isointense (n = 15) to gray matter on T1-weighted images, whereas they were hyperintense (n = 14) on T2-weighted images. On gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images, homogeneous enhancement was seen in 10 lesions, and heterogeneous enhancement was seen in 6 lesions that had cysts. Cystic components were noted in 6 lesions (38%). Severe peritumoral edema was seen in 12 lesions (75%). Nine lesions (56%) had hyperostosis, and 5 of them also had bone destruction. Among the 8 cases with initial CT scans, only 1 had amorphous calcifications (13%). There was only 1 recurrence of RM found during the follow-up period after surgical resection. CONCLUSION: RMs tend to have prominent peritumoral edema, cystic components, and bone involvement.  相似文献

Primary intraosseous meningioma: CT and MRI appearance   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Benign primary intraosseous meningioma presenting with osteolytic skull lesion and soft-tissue component is rare. CT and MR imaging of a patient with frontoparietal scalp swelling showed an osteolytic intracalvarial lesion with an extradural soft-tissue component. Following wide surgical resection, the histological examination revealed an intraosseous chordoid meningioma. The clinical and radiological findings of primary intraosseous meningioma are discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed.  相似文献

Intraosseous microcystic meningioma   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Extradural ectopic meningioma is a rare tumor. We report on an example of microcystic meningioma arising in the skull of an elderly woman. Radiological examination revealed a localized osteolytic lesion in the left parietal bone. At surgery, it was discovered that the tumor was located within the skull without any evidence of extraosseous extension. The light microscopic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features were consistent with a microcystic variant of meningioma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of an intraosseous microcystic meningioma, and we believe that this type of meningioma should be considered in the differential diagnoses of myxoid bone tumors of the calvarium.

ObjectivesTo increase the awareness on intracranial papillary meningiomas (PMs) by presenting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on this disease.Materials and methodsThe MRI findings and clinical presentations of nine discrete lesions in eight patients with pathologically documented PMs were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsMost tumors occurred in young adults. The tumors originated from the convexity meninges in five cases and from the parasagittal regions in four cases. The tumor shape was irregular in six cases, lobulated in two cases, and round in one case. By MRI, nine masses were primarily isointense (n=5) or mildly hypointense (n=4) to gray matter on T1-weighted images and inhomogeneous hyperintense (n=3) or isointense (n=6) to the cortex on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images. On diffusion-weighted imaging, the signal intensity of the tumor was increased in all lesions compared with the adjacent parenchyma. Tumor and brain interfaces were unclear in seven cases, cyst formation was observed in eight tumors, scattered hemorrhage was observed in three tumors, signal voids due to vessels were visible in four cases, and eight tumors had moderate or marked irregular peritumoral edema. Enhancement was homogeneous (n=2) or heterogeneous (n=7), an area of focal nodular enhancement was observed in three lesions, and the dural tail sign was visible in seven cases.ConclusionAlthough PM is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis when evaluating intracranial neoplasms. Younger patient age, as well as imaging features such as unclear tumor–brain interface, internal heterogeneity including cyst formation, irregular enhancement, signal voids of vessels, and marked peritumoral edema can help distinguish PM from typical benign meningiomas.  相似文献

OBJECT: Despite their benign characteristics, meningiomas are often accompanied by perifocal brain edema. The aims of this study are to determine what kind of characteristics on magnetic resonance (MR) image are indicative of a meningioma that produces brain edema and to investigate the mechanism responsible for brain edema accompanying meningiomas. METHODS: Fifty-one patients with meningioma were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and tumor size, tumor location, shape of tumor margin, peritumoral rim, and signal intensity of tumor on T2-weighted image (T2WI) were compared and correlated with the presence versus absence of brain edema. Surgical histopathology was also examined and correlated with the MRI findings and brain edema. RESULTS: Shape of tumor margin, peritumoral rim, and signal intensity of tumor on T2WI correlated with brain edema on multivariate analyses. CONCLUSION: Invasive pattern of brain-tumor interface and hyperintensity on T2WI were indicative factors of meningiomas producing brain edema.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Meningioma grade is determined by histologic analysis, with detectable brain invasion resulting in a diagnosis of grade II or III tumor. However, tissue undersampling is a common problem, and invasive parts of the tumor can be missed, resulting in the incorrect assignment of a lower grade. Radiographic biomarkers may be able to improve the diagnosis of grade and identify targets for biopsy. Prior work in patients with gliomas has shown that the resting-state blood oxygen level–dependent fMRI signal within these tumors is not synchronous with normal brain. We hypothesized that blood oxygen level–dependent asynchrony, a functional marker of vascular dysregulation, could predict meningioma grade.MATERIALS AND METHODS:We identified 25 patients with grade I and 11 patients with grade II or III meningiomas. Blood oxygen level–dependent time-series were extracted from the tumor and the radiographically normal control hemisphere and were included as predictors in a multiple linear regression to generate a blood oxygen level–dependent asynchrony map, in which negative values signify synchronous and positive values signify asynchronous activity relative to healthy brain. Masks of blood oxygen level–dependent asynchrony were created for each patient, and the fraction of the mask that extended beyond the contrast-enhancing tumor was computed.RESULTS:The spatial extent of blood oxygen level–dependent asynchrony was greater in high (grades II and III) than in low (I) grade tumors (P < 0.001) and could discriminate grade with high accuracy (area under the curve = 0.88).CONCLUSIONS:Blood oxygen level–dependent asynchrony radiographically discriminates meningioma grade and may provide targets for biopsy collection to aid in histologic diagnosis.

The 2016 World Health Organization guidelines for meningiomas were notable for the inclusion of brain invasion as a criterion sufficient for assignment to “high-grade” status (ie, grade II or III) and may explain the greater incidence of high-grade meningiomas since 2016.1 In addition to brain invasion, a meningioma is considered grade II or III if it demonstrates an elevated mitotic index and ≥3 aggressive histologic features or demonstrates a loss of meningothelial differentiation.2 While roughly 80% of all meningiomas are grade I, with excellent prognosis following surgical resection, the remaining 20% are grade II or III and more likely to recur.3 Furthermore, grade I tumors have a 10-year survival of 83%, compared with 61% for grade II and III tumors,4 making the accurate determination of meningioma grade important for both prognostic and treatment purposes.Histologic assessment remains the criterion standard for grading meningiomas; however, an accurate noninvasive prediction of tumor grade could benefit both clinicians and patients by improving preoperative planning and patient counseling and potentially guiding difficult management decisions. Furthermore, routine surgical biopsy may undersample regions that have histologic features, such as invasion, that are diagnostic for grade II or III meningioma, resulting in possible misdiagnosis. Identifying radiographic features that correlate with tumor invasion would, therefore, be useful for guiding biopsy location. Prior studies using standard-of-care structural imaging have attempted to predict meningioma grade by evaluating a mix of objective radiographic features, such as mean voxel intensity, and subjective radiographic features, such as the presence of hyperostosis.5 Peritumoral edema detected by T2-FLAIR has also been associated with higher-grade meningiomas.6,7 Additionally, histogram analysis of diffusion tensor imaging has also been shown to correlate with tumor grade and tumor subtype in meningiomas.8 However, it would be beneficial to develop a single, simple, visual criterion that could be easily applied by radiologists and surgeons to predict meningioma grade with high accuracy.Prior work using resting-state blood oxygen level—dependent (BOLD) fMRI in diffuse glioma has revealed that the BOLD signal in and around the tumor is temporally asynchronous with radiographically normal parts of the brain.9 BOLD asynchrony maps provide a quantitation of this phenomenon and are generated by comparing each voxel with the mean global signal intensity of both the contralesional hemisphere and the contrast-enhancing tumor. Stereotactically localized biopsies collected from peritumoral regions have demonstrated that the degree of BOLD asynchrony correlates with local tumor burden.10 Furthermore, the spatial extent of the asynchrony can discriminate IDH wild-type and IDH-mutated gliomas with high fidelity.11Meningiomas have also been shown to cause disruptions in vascular function observable with resting-state BOLD fMRI.11 We, therefore, hypothesized that brain invasion, a common feature of high-grade meningiomas, would be detectable using BOLD asynchrony maps derived from resting-state BOLD fMRI and that the spatial extent of BOLD asynchrony could be used to discriminate meningioma grade. Furthermore, we evaluated whether combining the spatial features of BOLD asynchrony and T2-FLAIR hyperintensity could improve tumor grading accuracy over either measure alone.  相似文献

A patient with recurrent meningioma in the right frontal lobe, treated with resection and radiation, had a routine magnetic resonance imaging scan that was suspicious for recurrent disease. Follow-up Octreoscan showed moderately increased focal uptake in same region, compatible with recurrence of meningioma; however, the histopathology was consistent with radiation fibrosis. There are reported cases of uptake on Octreoscans at other sites of the body due to chronic inflammation, but only one other case has been reported in the brain. Caution must be taken in interpretation of brain tumors on Octreotide scan, when treatment history includes prior radiation therapy.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Our purpose was to determine whether perfusion MR imaging can be used to differentiate benign and malignant meningiomas on the basis of the differences in perfusion of tumor parenchyma and/or peritumoral edema. METHODS: A total of 33 patients with preoperative meningiomas (25 benign and 8 malignant) underwent conventional and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion MR imaging. Maximal relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and the corresponding relative mean time to enhance (rMTE) (relative to the contralateral normal white matter) in both tumor parenchyma and peritumoral edema were measured. The independent samples t-test was used to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in the mean rCBV and rMTE ratios between benign and malignant meningiomas. RESULTS: The mean maximal rCBV values of benign and malignant meningiomas were 7.16+/-4.08 (mean+/-SD) and 5.89+/-3.86, respectively, in the parenchyma, and 1.05+/-0.96 and 3.82+/-1.39, respectively, in the peritumoral edema. The mean rMTE values were 1.16+/-0.24 and 1.30+/-0.32, respectively, in the parenchyma, and 0.91+/-0.25 and 1.24+/-0.35, respectively, in the peritumoral edema. The differences in rCBV and rMTE values between benign and malignant meningiomas were not statistically significant (P>0.05) in the parenchyma, but both were statistically significant (P<0.05) in the peritumoral edema. CONCLUSION: Perfusion MR imaging can provide useful information on meningioma vascularity which is not available from conventional MRI. Measurement of maximal rCBV and corresponding rMTE values in the peritumoral edema is useful in the preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant meningiomas.  相似文献
