[A case of convexity meningioma en plaque].

We present a case of convexity meningioma en plaque (MEP). A 51-year-old male occasionally suffering from right parietalgia and numbness of left upper limb. An intracranial abnormal mass was pointed out incidentally by the brain check up. Computed tomographic (CT) scans demonstrated a hyperostosis and an enhanced abnormal mass at the right front-parietal region. Magnetic resonant images (MRI) revealed a carpet like tumor extended along the dura mater. Cerebral angiography disclosed feedings from parietal branches of right middle meningeal artery and superficial temporal artery. The tumor was removed subtotally with adjacent dura mater, leaving the portion of close adhesion to the brain parenchyma. Histologic diagnosis was transitional meningioma. Immunohistological stainings showed a high staining index (6.9%) of MIB-1 (Ki-69 antigen) and high expression of metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), especially along the dura mater. Convexity MEP is so rare that we review previous reported cases of convexity MEP, and discuss the clinicopathologic features on that.
