Spinal Psammomatous Meningioma with Ossification and Extramedullary Hematopoiesis
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Spinal canal meningioma is a rare tumor which is mostly benign and slow growing. Psammomatous calcification is commonly seen in meningioma but only few cases of ossified meningioma have been reported. Extramedullary hematopoiesis in the ossified meningioma is even rarer with very few case reports. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We describe case of a 70 year old female with spinal intradural hard mass, diagnosed to be meningioma with ossification and extramedullary hematopoiesis along with review of literature about its histogenesis.
