Primary intracranial tumors generally occur as solitary tumors. The association of two primary intracranial tumors of different histogenesis in the same individual is rare, except in cases of phakomatoses or radiation-induced tumors. Meningiomas and vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are one of the commonest tumors occurring intracranially. VS account for 80% of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors, with meningiomas being the second most common tumor of the CPA. The occurrence of both a schwannoma and a meningioma in the CPA is rare. We report a case with coexistent CPA meningioma and VS, which were distinct radiologically on preoperative imaging, however had admixed areas of VS and meningioma on histopathological evaluation.
原发性颅内肿瘤通常表现为孤立性肿瘤。同一个体中出现两种不同组织发生的原发性颅内肿瘤的情况很少见,除了在错构瘤或辐射诱导性肿瘤病例中。脑膜瘤和前庭神经鞘瘤(VSs)是颅内最常见的肿瘤之一。VS占桥小脑角(CPA)肿瘤的80%,脑膜瘤是CPA第二常见的肿瘤。CPA同时出现神经鞘瘤和脑膜瘤的情况很罕见。我们报告一例CPA脑膜瘤和VS共存的病例,术前影像学检查显示两者在放射学上明显不同,但组织病理学评估显示VS和脑膜瘤存在混合区域。
