Meningioma morphology is diverse. Although unlisted in the WHO classification, sclerosing meningioma is a rare variation featuring an extremely low signal intensity on MRI T2-weighted imaging. About 50 cases of sclerosing meningiomas, including spinal tumors, have been reported; however, cases with an accompanying large peritumoral cyst remain unreported. Here, we first report a rare case of sclerosing meningioma with a large peritumoral cyst and review relevant literature.

Background: Intramedullary meningiomas are an exceptionally rare subtype of spinal tumors, accounting for only 5% of primary spinal neoplasms. Given their scarcity and unique characteristics, understanding optimal management approaches is crucial for improved clinical decision-making. This systematic review aims to consolidate existing literature and present a detailed case illustration to enhance understanding of this uncommon spinal tumor entity.

IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) are a group of chronic progressive autoimmune diseases of unknown etiology that are increasingly recognized as an important pathophysiological basis for a variety of systemic diseases. It is thought to involve almost any organ of the body, but the involvement of the central nervous system is relatively rare. We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital d recurrent dizziness and nausea for more than 3 months.

Purpose: Primary central nervous system, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in the cerebellopontine angle after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation has never been reported in the literature. Typically, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is non-polyploid. We report the first case of a patient with polyploid post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in the cerebellopontine angle who presented with back pain.

Sclerosing meningiomas (SMs) represent a rare histological variant of meningiomas, first described in 1989 as invasive bulking masses of whorling collagen bundles with a minimum percentage of meningothelia-resembling cells, and they are often misdiagnosed. The literature reports only 30 cases of SMs, with only two of them being intramedullary. The authors present the case of a patient with a cervical intramedullary SM who presented with gait disturbances, sensory deficits, weakness in four extremities, and hyperreflexia.
