Ossified thoracic spinal meningioma in childhood: a case report and review of the literature

S Naderi et al. Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

Spinal ossified meningiomas are extremely rare. This is a report of a study on a 15-year-old boy with thoracic spinal ossified meningioma. The meningioma was resected totally. Histopathological examination revealed a transitional meningioma (psammomatous+meningothelial). Immunohistochemically, Ki 67 antibody was applied but no positive staining was present. The surgical and pathological aspects of spinal ossified meningiomas were reviewed.
