Article Synopsis
- Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft-tissue tumor, with even fewer cases found intracranially, especially in children.
- This text presents two pediatric cases—one boy and one girl—both experiencing seizures, with radiologic imaging revealing frontal lesions, leading to successful surgical resection.
- The study emphasizes that intracranial AFH predominantly occurs in adolescents and young adults, typically manifests through headaches and seizures, and reinforces that complete surgical removal is the best treatment approach.
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.
