CHORDOID MENINGIOMA: A case report.
Abstract
"Chordoid meningioma" is an uncommon histopathological variant of meningioma. I report a case of chordoid meningioma occurring in a 53 year-old female patient. Nonenhanced CT scan of the brain showed a low density mass(25HU) with rimlike calcification and surrounding edema in left temporal lobe. The enhancement was thick-irregular ring configuration. This mass presented as intra-axial location. Its lateral margin was close to left sylvian fissure,but no border revealed dural attachment.
Surgical excision was performed and the pathologic result established the definit diagnosis.
