Angiomatous Meningioma – a rare variant
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Angiomatous meningioma is a rare WHO grade 1 histological subtype of meningioma, comprising of 2.1% of all meningiomas. Metastasis from a histologically “benign” meningioma is a rare but well documented event. In 60% of the cases the metastases are in the lungs. They have the histological and clinical features of benign meningioma in which the blood vessels components exceed upto 50%. They are rarely reported in the literature and till now their clinico-pathological characteristics have not been systematically analyzed and studied. The main aim of presenting this case is to highlight the histomorphological features of this uncommon variant of meningioma that could help in distinguishing it from Hemangioblastoma and Hemangiopericytoma.
