富于淋巴浆细胞型脑膜瘤的MRI与病理分析

目的 探讨脑膜瘤亚型富于淋巴浆细胞型的MRI表现特征.方法 回顾性分析7例经手术病理证实的富于淋巴浆细胞型脑膜瘤的影像资料及病理资料,结合相关文献进行对比分析.结果 7例富于淋巴浆细胞型脑膜瘤均为单发病灶,6例病灶沿脑膜匍匐性生长,5例未形成具体瘤结节,2例为不规则分叶状;7例病灶均界限不清,瘤周水肿明显,邻近脑组织不同程度受累.MR平扫T1WI 7例均呈等、略低信号,T2WI 5例呈等、略高信号,2例呈等、略低信号;增强扫描见7例病灶均有显著强化效应,6例脑膜广泛不均匀增厚.病理示细胞丰富,成分多样,见大量淋巴细胞、浆细胞浸润,可见多少不等的梭形瘤细胞及典型脑膜上皮细胞区域.结论 富于淋巴浆细胞型脑膜瘤影像表现不同于常见脑膜瘤,具有一定的影像表现特征,有助于该肿瘤的诊断和鉴别.

Comparative study of the MRI findings of lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma with pathological findings

Objective To investigate the MRI features of intracranial lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma and the corelation between the MRI features and pathologic findings. Methods The MRI and pathologic data of 7 patients with lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma were reviewed retrospectively. All cases were proved by surgery and pathological examinations. Results All lesions were solitary. The tumors crawled along meninges in 6 cases and in 5 cases the tumors did not appear as mass lesions. In 2 cases, the tumors appeared as half-moon. The boundary of all of the tumors was unclear, accompanying heavy peritumoral brain edema. The brain invasion can be seen in 7 cases. The lesions showed hypo-isointense signal on T1 WI in 7 cases, hyper-isointense signal in 5 cases and hypo-isointense in 2 cases on T2 WI.Enhancement scan demonstrated marked enhancement in 7 cases. Extensive thickening of the meninges was observed in 6 cases. Pathological results showed that the cells were abundant and diversified, with a great quantity of lymphoplasmacytes, and there were typical meningeal epithelial cells area in the surgical specimen. Conclusion The MRI findings of lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma show some features different from other common meningiomas, which would be helpful to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
