Primary intraosseous osteolytic meningioma: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Primary intraosseous meningioma is a subset of extradural meningioma that arises in the bone, and only a few cases have been reported to date. CASE PRESENTATION:An 80-year-old man presented with decreased hearing on the right side accompanied by a disturbance of balance 10?months prior to admission. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an 8?×?7?cm osteolytic mass in the right posterior fossa related to the petrous bone, with extension to the cervical region. During surgery, the tumor was found to be located extradurally, with no invasion of the dura. The tumor was removed entirely, apart from a small portion around the jugular foramen to avoid lower cranial nerve injury. CONCLUSION:The final diagnosis was primary intraosseous osteolytic meningioma with atypical pathology. Here, we report a rare case of an osteolytic skull lesion in the skull base not invading the dura and with extensive bone destruction.

Treatment and molecular analysis of bullous pemphigoid with tofacitinib: a case report and review of current literature

Project description:Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune blistering disease with pruritus and tension blisters/bullous as the main clinical manifestations. Glucocorticosteroids are the main therapeutic agents for it, but their efficacy is poor in some patients. Tofacitinib, a small molecule agent that inhibits JAK1/3, has shown incredible efficacy in a wide range of autoimmune diseases and maybe a new valuable treatment option for refractory BP. To report a case of refractory BP successfully treated with tofacitinib, then explore the underlying mechanism behind the treatment, and finally review similarities to other cases reported in the literature. Case report and literature review of published cases of successful BP treatment with JAK inhibitors. The case report describes a 73-year-old male with refractory BP that was successfully managed with the combination therapy of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids for 28 weeks. Immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the underlying mechanism of tofacitinib therapy. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify other cases of treatment with JAK inhibitors. Throughout the 28-week treatment period, the patient experienced clinical, autoantibody and histologic resolution. Immunohistochemical analysis showed tofacitinib significantly decreased the pSTAT3 and pSTAT6 levels in the skin lesions of this patient. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical testing of lesion samples from other BP patients identified activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Literature review revealed 17 previously reported cases of BP treated with four kinds of JAK inhibitors successfully, including tofacitinib (10), baricitinib (1), upadacitinib (3) and abrocitinib (3). Our findings support the potential of tofacitinib as a safe and effective treatment option for BP. Larger studies are underway to better understand this efficacy and safety.

Pure posterior chordoid foramen magnum meningioma: A case report and review of literature.

Project description:Introduction and importanceMeningiomas are extra-axial central nervous system (CNS) tumors that arise from the arachnoid cells of the dura mater. Only 1.8-3.2% of all meningiomas are located at foramen magnum (FM) and pure posterior FM meningioma are very rare. The diagnosis of malignancy in patients with meningiomas has been a controversial issue. Only a histological study can confirm this situation.Case presentationWe report a case of A 52-year-old female presented with a history of neck pain with progressive spastic quadriparesis.Clinical discussionMagnetic resonance imaging MRI T1 and T2 weighted images revealed well-defied pure posterior foramen magnum Lesion. Although the lesion was very sticky to neurovascular components. Simpson grade I was achieved. Histopathology revealed Chordoid meningioma. The patient had a dramatic recovery.ConclusionAlthough choroid meningioma is usually well circumscribed, sticky tumors should be suspected. Recurrence of Chordoid meningioma should be suspected. Total excision should be achieved and routine follow-up should be informed. Reports about chordoid meningioma aren't common, but reports on choroid foramen magnum meningioma are very rare. The opportunity to give the patient a symptom-free and normal life should not be missed in such cases.

Tophaceous gout in thoracic spine mimicking meningioma: A case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundGout is a common metabolic disorder of purine metabolism, causing arthritis in the distal joints of the appendicular skeleton. Spine involvement is rare, and very few cases of spinal gout have been reported. The authors present a rare case of axial gout with tophaceous deposits in the thoracic spinal canal resulting in cord compression and mimicking a meningioma.Case descriptionA 33-year-old male presented with chronic mid back pain and a progressive paraparesis. The presumed diagnosis was meningioma based on MR imaging with/without contrast that showed a posterolateral, right-sided, and T10-T11 intradural extramedullary lesion. Notable, was hyperuricemia found on hematological studies. The patient underwent a decompressive laminectomy (T9-T11) for excision of the lesion, intraoperatively, an intraspinal, chalky, white mass firmly adherent to and compressing the dural sac was removed. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a gouty tophus. Postoperatively, the patient's pain resolved, and he regained the ability to walk.ConclusionA gouty tophus should be included among the differential diagnostic considerations when patients with known hyperuricemia present with back pain, and paraparesis attributed to an MR documented compressive spinal lesion.

En-plaque sphenoid wing grade II meningioma: Case report and review of literature.

Project description:Introduction and importanceEn-plaque-meningioma (EPM) is characterized by its flat growth along the bony contour. It accounts for 2-9% of all meningiomas. Very few grade II or III EPM cases were reported. Surgical resection of sphenoid wing EPM is especially challenging as the tumour tends to invade the cavernous sinus, and/or the orbit, and their neurovascular structures. Consequently, tumours in such locations have a higher rate of recurrence. We report the clinical course and management of a patient suffering a second recurrence of grade II EPM. The clinical course of grade II EPM, and the management of multiple recurrences of EPM are scarcely reported in the literature.Case presentationA 53-year-old male with a history of three previous surgeries for EPM presented with decreased vision in the right eye. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed progression of a sphenoid wing meningioma invading the left optic nerve, indicating a second recurrence of the tumour.Clinical discussionWe reviewed the literature discussing the clinical course of grade II EPM, and cases suffering multiple recurrences. Only a few cases were found with varying clinical course and management. In our case, surgical intervention was necessary to save the patient's vision. A modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy was performed. A small residual tumour invading the cavernous sinus was left for treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery.ConclusionSphenoid wing EPM is challenging pathology to manage, especially grade II tumours which are rarely encountered. Multimodality treatment with surgery and radiotherapy offers EPM patients the best chance of treatment.

Primary Pulmonary Chondrosarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Chondrosarcomas are tumors consisting of osseous or cartilaginous stroma. They are not an uncommon pathology; however, primary pulmonary chondrosarcomas arising in lung parenchyma are extremely rare, with few cases published in literature. Herein, we present a case with biopsy-proven primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma after exclusion of primary origin elsewhere. In the case presented in this report, we demonstrate the clinical presentations, pulmonary function tests, and the radiological findings of this rare tumor in a young male patient. Further, we present a brief review of existing literature for patients with similar pathology.

Clinicoradiographic Features and Histopathologic Variations of Intraosseous Lipoma: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Intraosseous lipoma is a very rare lesion, and the jaw is its least common bone location. Fibrolipoma is a microscopic variant of lipoma which is characterized by a significant fibrous component intermixed with lobules of fat cells. Intraosseous fibrolipoma of the jaw is a rare lesion, and to the best of our knowledge, only two cases have been reported from 1948 in English literature. This paper presents a 39-year-old man with a chief complaint of tooth displacement in the anterior region of the mandible. Radiographic evaluation revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion with sclerotic borders located between the left lateral incisor and canine. Histopathologic evaluation after an excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of intraosseous fibrolipoma. We also reviewed the literature on this rare lesion.

Case Report: Primary Leptomeningeal Medulloblastoma in a Child: Clinical Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Medulloblastoma is one of the most common pediatric central nervous system malignancies worldwide, and it is characterized by frequent leptomeningeal metastasizing. We report a rare case of primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma of an 11-year-old Caucasian girl with a long-term disease history, non-specific clinical course, and challenges in the diagnosis verification. To date, 4 cases of pediatric primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma are reported, and all of them are associated with unfavorable outcomes. The approaches of neuroimaging and diagnosis verification are analyzed in the article to provide opportunities for effective diagnosis of this disease in clinical practice. The reported clinical case of the primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma is characterized by MR images with non-specific changes in the brain and spinal cord and by 18FDG-PET/CT images with diffuse heterogeneous hyperfixation of the radiopharmaceutical along the whole spinal cord. The immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing analyses of tumor samples were performed for comprehensive characterization of the reported clinical case.
