Cystic Meningioma with Interesting Imaging Characteristics in Frontal Region: A Case Report

Introduction: Cystic meningioma is an unusual shape of meningioma, and the imaging manifestations and site of the solid/cystic components of the mass increase our difficulties in making a diagnosis. Case report: We report a case of a 78-year-old right-handed woman who presented with right-sided hemiparesis, urinary incontinency, and Broca aphasia. A large left-sided frontal region cystic extra-axial mass with a suspicious small solid nodule and adjacent bony erosion was detected on non-contrast CT of the brain. Brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium depicted the cystic and solid components exactly. A probable diagnosis of cystic meningioma was made and subsequently confirmed by histological study after surgical resection of the tumor. To confirm the category and subtypes of the tumor, a histopathological examination of the tumor cells should be done.
