Meningioma en plaque (MEP) is a rare tumor characterized more by its clinical and biological behavior than its histological appearance. Hyperostosis of the skull is one of the characteristic signs of MEP. This bony change can produce clinical symptoms and signs in MEP by pressing against adjacent structures. The authors report a rare case of an osteolytic MEP extending from the sphenoid wing into the orbital wall, middle fossa, and temporalis muscle.
平板状脑膜瘤(MEP)是一种罕见肿瘤,其特征更多地体现在临床和生物学行为上,而非组织学表现。颅骨增生是MEP的特征性体征之一。这种骨质改变可通过压迫相邻结构在MEP中产生临床症状和体征。作者报告了一例罕见的溶骨性MEP病例,该肿瘤从蝶骨翼延伸至眶壁、中颅窝和颞肌。
