AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a rare condition called meningioangiomatosis (MA) linked to meningioma, highlighting its clinicopathological features.
- A case of a 33-year-old man is presented, showing MA characterized by blood vessel growth and other cellular changes, with the patient remaining healthy 18 months post-surgery.
- It concludes that while MA associated with meningioma is uncommon, it typically has a positive prognosis post-operation, although it can be mistaken for other brain conditions.
Article Abstract
Aim. To analyze the clinicopathological features of meningioangiomatosis (MA) associated with meningioma. Methods. We present one case of MA associated with meningioma. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were used. Results. The age of the patient was 33-year-old man. Histopathologically, MA was characterized by vascular proliferation with perivascular meningothelial cells and/or fibroblast proliferation, entrapped glial islands. In addition, MA was associated with transitional meningioma. The patient was alive without evidence of recurrence at 18 months after mass resection. Conclusion. MA associated with meningioma is an extremely rare lesion. The differential diagnosis includes cortical invasion by meningioma and intracerebral schwannoma. Patients with MA associated with meningioma often have a good prognosis after operation.
