An 82-year-old male presented with a small parasagittal meningioma associated with disproportionately severe perifocal edema. Histological examination including immunohistochemical staining and electron microscopy resulted in a diagnosis of secretory meningioma. In addition to tumor size, the edema could not be explained by location, growth rate, vascular involvement, or other factors. We conclude that secretory meningiomas may possess an innate ability to cause brain edema.
一名82岁男性患者，患有小型矢状窦旁脑膜瘤，伴有不成比例的严重瘤周水肿。组织学检查，包括免疫组化染色和电子显微镜检查，诊断为分泌性脑膜瘤。除肿瘤大小外，水肿无法用位置、生长速度、血管受累情况或其他因素来解释。我们得出结论，分泌性脑膜瘤可能具有引起脑水肿的内在能力。
