  • Title: Meningeal fibroma: a rare meningioma mimic.
    Author: Kakkar A, Sharma MC, Goyal N, Sarkar C, Suri V, Garg A, Kale SS, Suri A.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Pediatr; 2014 Aug; 14(2):155-9. PubMed ID: 24950471.
    Abstract:
    Meningeal fibromas are rare intracranial tumors that mimic meningiomas radiologically as well as histologically. The authors report 2 cases of meningeal fibroma with detailed clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features, and discuss the differential diagnosis of this entity. Knowledge of this rare tumor is essential for pathologists to be able distinguish it from more common meningeal tumors, especially in younger patients. This knowledge is also essential for neurosurgeons, as incomplete resection may lead to tumor recurrence, and such patients require close follow-up.
