MENINGIOANGIOMATOSIS: CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF A CASE

Meningioangiomatosis (ma) is a rare, benign, focal lesion of leptomeninges and the underlying cerebral cortex, characterized by perivascular meningothelial and fibroblastic cell proliferation. it may be seen either sporadically or in patients with neurofibromatosis-2. ma is considered to be a hamartomatous or maldevelopmental lesion, a reactive condition, or a lesion of neoplastic origin. this lesion is important since the differential diagnosis should be made for intracortical tumors. in this case report we present an 18 year-old male patient who had seizures for five months. he has not developed any clinical symptoms after surgical excision of the lesion. this rare case is discussed clinically and morphologically with literature findings
