Pediatric Temporal Lobe Meningioma With Meningioangiomatosis Mimicking Invasive Meningioma

Meningiomas combined with meningioangiomatosis (MA-M) present similarly to more invasive lesions because of their appearance on neuroimaging. These lesions are especially rare in pediatric patients and suggestive imaging can help identify them for differential diagnosis. An 11-year-old male child wh...

description Meningiomas combined with meningioangiomatosis (MA-M) present similarly to more invasive lesions because of their appearance on neuroimaging. These lesions are especially rare in pediatric patients and suggestive imaging can help identify them for differential diagnosis. An 11-year-old male child who presented with diplopia and a headache was found to have an edematous invasive appearing temporal lobe mass on magnetic resonance imaging. Despite the lesion’s appearance, it was completely resected and found to be a benign MA-M upon histopathologic examination. The present case demonstrated a rare meningioma with meningioangiomatosis that appeared to be a higher grade or invasive lesion upon initial imaging in a pediatric patient. A review of the literature was performed on patients who presented similarly. Despite the rarity of this condition in children, neuroimaging should be carefully examined prior to surgical resection of similar masses in preparation for highly vascular tissue, and post-operative course can be better anticipated when MA-M is considered during differential diagnosis.
