Meningeal fibromas are rare intracranial tumors that mimic meningiomas radiologically as well as histologically. The authors report 2 cases of meningeal fibroma with detailed clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features, and discuss the differential diagnosis of this entity. Knowledge of this rare tumor is essential for pathologists to be able distinguish it from more common meningeal tumors, especially in younger patients. This knowledge is also essential for neurosurgeons, as incomplete resection may lead to tumor recurrence, and such patients require close follow-up.

Evaluation of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging features and diagnostic effectiveness of grades II and III intracranial solitary fibroma.
Eur J Med Res
July 2024
Magnetic Resonance Department, 1st Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Objectives: To explore the value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characterization of intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFT) and to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative MRI features in predicting pathological grading.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis comprised the clinical and preoperative MRI characterization of 55 patients with ISFT in our hospital, including 27 grade II cases and 28 grade III cases confirmed by postoperative pathology. Variables included age, sex, tumor location, cross-midline status, signal characteristics of T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR), and diffusion‑weighted imaging (DWI), peritumoral edema, intralesional hemorrhage, focal necrosis/cystic degeneration, tumor empty vessel, maximum tumor diameter, maximum, minimum, and average values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC, ADC, and ADC), tumors enhancement mode, meningeal tail sign, skull invasion, cerebral parenchymal invasion, and venous sinus involvement.
Sturge-Weber syndrome with cemento-ossifying fibroma in the maxilla and giant odontoma in the mandible: A case report.

Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Hiroshima City Hiroshima Citizens Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan.
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous syndrome with vascular lesions of the cerebral meninges, port wine spots on the face, and glaucoma of the eyes; it is a congenital, non-genetic disease whose etiology and mechanisms are unknown. In this report, we describe a rare case of SWS with unilateral large odontogenic tumors in the maxilla and mandible. The histopathological diagnosis of the maxillary bone lesion on biopsy was juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma, which is considered a type of ossifying fibroma of craniofacial bone origin.

Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is characterized by an aberrant activation of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway, most cases being caused by PTCH1 mutations. However, certain features such as multiple hereditary infundibulocystic basal cell carcinomas (MHIBCC), sclerotic fibromas, childhood medulloblastoma or meningioma may be relatively specific to a SUFU mutation. We present two patients with MHIBCC, along with a more complex cutaneous and extracutaneous phenotype.

Ossifying fibromas of the head and neck region are classified as cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) (odontogenic origin), and two types of juvenile ossifying fibromas: juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF), and juvenile psammomatous ossifying fibroma (JPOF). The potential for recurrence in JTOF and JPOF and the discovery of newer molecular signatures necessitates accurate histological classification. Over 12 years (2005-2017), a total of 45 patients with 51 tumours were retrieved and reviewed for clinic-pathological features from the archives of a tertiary care oncology centre.
