  • Title: Lipomatous metaplasia occurring within meningiomas--two case reports.
    Author: Singh A, Sharma KC.
    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 2005 Oct; 48(4):477-8. PubMed ID: 16366099.
    Abstract:
    Lipomatous meningiomas have recently been described as rare well defined variants of meningiomas characterized by meningothelial cells which undergo a metaplasia to adipocytes. Presence of intratumoral fat can sometimes cause confusion in preoperative radiological diagnosis. We report two such histologically unusual cases of meningiomas with significant adipose tissue metaplasia.
