Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with CT and MRI appearance of meningioma

A Pierallini et al. Neuroradiology. 1999 Jan.

Abstract

We describe a pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) in a young girls whose frontal lobe location, solid structure, dural tail and MRI signal characteristics led to a preoperative diagnosis of meningioma. PXA should be considered in differential diagnosis of tumours affecting young patients with neuroradiological characteristics suggestive of meningioma.
