Invasive meningioma: A tumour with high proliferating and ?recurrence? potential

Abstract: A study was undertaken to investigate the correlation between histological invasiveness and proliferating potential and clinical recurrence in meningioma. In 39 meningiomas, the histological findings at the tumour-brain interface zone were classified into 3 types, consisting of 29 cases of non-invasion (NON). 7 cases of nodular invasion (NOD), and 3 cases of intermingled invasion (INT). Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) indices were studied. PCNA indi… Show more

“…In our study, the mean Ki-67 expression level of meningiomas with brain invasion was significantly higher than that in patients without brain invasion. This indicated that the tumour cells proliferated more actively in the brain invasion group, in agreement with published reports [28] , [29] , [30] . However, some authors have reported that brain invasion was not associated with Ki-67 [ 23 , 31 ].…”

“…In general, the pathological nature of meningioma determines its association with the brain parenchyma, which is that benign meningioma is usually compressive to the brain parenchyma due to its expansive growth, and malignant meningioma is invasive into the neighboring brain parenchyma due to its intrusive growth (5,6). However, clinical observations have indicated that there is a sub-group of benign meningioma displaying a malignant growth pattern, that is, invasion into the neighboring brain tissue (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). This sub-type of meningioma is usually unnoticed prior to surgical resection by the neurosurgeon, which can often result in damage of the neighboring brain tissue.…”
