Scope note: Neoplasia del sistema nervioso central, relativamente frecuente, originada de las células aracnoideas. La mayoría son tumores vascularizados, bien diferenciados, que crecen lentamente y tienen un bajo potencial de invasividad, aunque existen subtipos malignos. Los meningiomas tienen predilección por la región parasagital, la convexidad cerebral, el puente esfenoidal, el surco olfatorio y el canal medular. Tienden a presentarse de la cuarta a la sexta décadas de la vida con signos indicadores de masa lentamente progresiva. Las manifestaciones clínicas específicas dependen de la localización del tumor, pero pueden consistir en HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL, neuropatías de los pares craneales, ataxia, y otros signos neurológicos focales.

Scope note: A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2056-7)
Annotation: benign or malignant; coord IM with MENINGEAL NEOPLASMS (IM) but not with BRAIN NEOPLASMS nor SPINAL CORD NEOPLASMS for intracranial or spinal meningioma unless site is particularly discussed
