Atypical or malignant transformation (AT/MT) has been described in WHO grade I meningiomas. Our aim was to identify predictive factors of AT/MT at recurrence. A total of N = 15 WHO grade increases were observed in N = 13 patients (0.96% of the study population, risk of transformation of 0.12% per patient-year follow-up). Patients with and without progression at recurrence were similar regarding age, gender distribution, skull-base location, bone infiltration, and Simpson grades. Recurrence-free survival was lower in patients with transformation (5 ± 4.06 years versus 7.3 ± 5.4 years; p = 0.03). Among patient age, gender, skull base location, extent of resection or post-operative RT, no predictor of AT/MT was identified, despite a follow-up of 10,524 patient-years. The annual risk of transformation of WHO grade I meningiomas was 0.12% per patient-year follow-up. Despite the important number of patients included and their extended follow-up, we did not identify any risk factor for transformation. A total of 1,352 patients with surgically managed WHO grade I meningioma from a mixed retro-and prospective database with mean follow-up of 9.2 years ± 5.7 years (0.3-20.9 years) were reviewed. Recurring tumors at the site of initial surgery were considered as recurrence.

Feline meningiomas typically arise on the surface of the brain but can occur in the third ventricle. Meningiomas in the fourth ventricle have not been reported in cats, to our knowledge. Here, we describe the clinical and pathologic findings of meningioma in the fourth ventricle in 2 cats.

We report a rare case of rhabdoid meningioma (RM) originating from the optic nerve in a 57-year-old female. The tumor exhibited rhabdoid or epithelioid histology and harbored BAP1 inactivation mutations. Optic nerve meningioma typically originates from the outer meningeal cells of the optic nerve within the optic canal and is usually benign, with most cases classified as meningothelial or transitional meningiomas.

Purpose: Patients with meningiomas mostly present good outcomes and optimal prognosis, but different grades of tumors have very different symptoms and recurrence rates. Therefore, effective diagnosis is crucial for early intervention and controlling tumor development. Circadian cycle and autophagy have both been proven to be related to neoplasm formation and pathogenesis; however, there is limited exploration and discussion on the relationships between the circadian cycle and autophagy in patients with meningiomas.

Background: Maximal safe resection is the objective of most neuro-oncological operations. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) may guide the surgeon to improve the extent of safe resection. There is limited evidence comparing the impact of iMRI on the rates of further resection between tumour types.

Background: Our group and others have recently identified four molecular groups of meningioma, with unique underlying biology and outcomes. The relevance of group-specific metabolite profiles (particularly among hypermetabolic tumours), has not been explored.
Methods: We performed untargeted metabolic profiling of meningiomas representing each molecular group and WHO grade.
