A brain tumor with histological features reminiscent of schwannoma with underlying meningioangiomatosis was subjected to electron microscopic and immunohistochemical analysis, which confirmed the neoplasm as a meningioma. This prompted reexamination of a similar tumor, described in a previous publication as a cerebral schwannoma, with identical immunohistochemical techniques. The results obtained favored alteration of this diagnosis to that of meningioma. This experience has led the authors to recommend the use of immunohistochemistry techniques when evaluating unusual intracranial neoplasms.
对具有组织学特征、让人联想到伴有潜在脑膜血管外皮细胞瘤的神经鞘瘤的脑肿瘤进行了电子显微镜和免疫组织化学分析，结果证实该肿瘤为脑膜瘤。这促使人们用相同的免疫组织化学技术重新检查一个先前出版物中描述为脑神经鞘瘤的类似肿瘤。所得结果支持将该诊断改为脑膜瘤。这一经验促使作者建议在评估不常见的颅内肿瘤时使用免疫组织化学技术。
