Meningioangiomatosis Combined with Calcifying Pseudoneoplasms of Neuraxis
Meningioangiomatosis (MA) is a rare hamartomatous or meningovascular lesion involving the central nervous system, and is sometimes associated with intracranial meningiomas. Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis (CAPNON) are rare, slow-growing benign tumor-like lesions that can occur anywhere al...

description | Meningioangiomatosis (MA) is a rare hamartomatous or meningovascular lesion involving the central nervous system, and is sometimes associated with intracranial meningiomas. Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis (CAPNON) are rare, slow-growing benign tumor-like lesions that can occur anywhere along the neuraxis. Here, we report a rare case of MA combined with CAPNON. A 31-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a high-density mass in the left frontal lobe, detected by computed tomography (CT) during a physical examination. She had a 3-year history of obsessive–compulsive disorder. We describe the imaging, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of the patient. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing MA combined with CAPNON. We reviewed the literature on MA and CAPNON over the last decade and summarized the points for differential diagnosis and treatment. It is difficult to preoperatively distinguish between MA and CAPNON. However, this coexisting condition should be considered when intra-axial calcification lesions are observed on radiological imaging. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are likely to benefit this patient group. |
