Meningiomas are the most diagnosed primary central nervous system tumor. Currently, 15 different subtypes of meningioma exist with various characteristics. One extremely rare subtype is myxoid meningioma, which is a World Health Organization grade 1 benign meningioma. These specific meningiomas have only been reported 12 times in the literature. In this representative case, we present a 46-year-old female patient with a left frontal myxoid meningioma, describe the findings on imaging, and provide the histopathological features that are needed for diagnosis. Furthermore, this report discusses the other existing myxoid meningioma case reports found throughout the literature.
脑膜瘤是最常见的原发性中枢神经系统肿瘤。目前，存在 15 种不同的脑膜瘤亚型，具有不同的特征。一种极其罕见的亚型是黏液样脑膜瘤，它是世界卫生组织 1 级良性脑膜瘤。这些特定的脑膜瘤在文献中仅报告了 12 次。在这个有代表性的病例中，我们介绍了一位 46 岁的女性患者，她患有左额部黏液样脑膜瘤，描述了影像学表现，并提供了诊断所需的组织病理学特征。此外，本报告还讨论了文献中发现的其他黏液样脑膜瘤病例报告。
