Primary Intracranial Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma: Two Case Reports and Literature Review.

Background: Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare, fibrohistiocytic, soft-tissue neoplasm. Intracranial AFH is extremely rare. Here we present 2 pediatric cases of intracranial AFH and perform a literature review on this disease entity.

New insights into the genomic landscape of meningiomas identified FGFR3 in a subset of patients with favorable prognoses.

With a prevalence of 170 000 adults in the US alone, meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors. The management of skull base meningiomas is challenging due to their complexity and proximity to crucial nearby structures. The identification of oncogenic mutations has provided further insights into the tumorigenesis of meningioma and the possibility of targeted therapy.
