This is a very rare case of intraosseous cystic meningioma. There have been no reports of similar cases in the last 30 years.
A 62-year-old man, suffering from a swelling of the lateral wall of the left orbit was admitted to our hospital. MRI and CT scan showed a large intradiploic lesion involving the lateral wall of the orbit and the greater wing of the sphenoid. The lesion was cystic with a mural nodule. We operated the patient and removed completely the mural nodule and the fibrous wall of cyst. Histological examination showed that the mural nodule was a benign meningothelial meningioma.
Primary intraosseous meningiomas represent a subtype of primary extradural meningiomas; they comprise about 2% of all meningiomas and are therefore rare entities. Cystic meningiomas are rare, their incidence compared to all other types of meningiomas is of 2-4%. The presence of a meningioma with both characteristics: cystic and intraosseous, like in our case, is an exceptional occurrence.
The surgical management of tumor was easy; its rarity means that the case is interesting.
这是一例极为罕见的骨内囊性脑膜瘤。在过去30年中尚无类似病例的报道。
一名62岁男性,因左眼眶外侧壁肿胀入住我院。磁共振成像(MRI)和计算机断层扫描(CT)显示,一个巨大的板障内病变累及眼眶外侧壁和蝶骨大翼。该病变为囊性,伴有壁结节。我们对患者进行了手术,完整切除了壁结节和囊肿的纤维壁。组织学检查显示壁结节为良性脑膜皮型脑膜瘤。
原发性骨内脑膜瘤是原发性硬膜外脑膜瘤的一种亚型;它们约占所有脑膜瘤的2%,因此是罕见的实体。囊性脑膜瘤很罕见,与所有其他类型的脑膜瘤相比,其发病率为2% - 4%。如我们病例中同时具备囊性和骨内这两种特征的脑膜瘤则极为罕见。
肿瘤的手术处理较为容易;其罕见性意味着该病例很有意思。
