RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The coexistence of meningioma and other intracranial primary benign tumors is rare, especially in non-neurofibromatosis type 2, and there is limited guidance for the management of such patients. Here, we report a series of 5 patients with concomitant meningioma and other intracranial benign tumors, including subependymoma and pituitary adenoma. CASE SUMMARY: Five non-neurofibromatosis type 2 patients with simultaneous occurrence of meningioma and other intracranial benign tumors were retrospectively reviewed. The patients had no history of previous irradiation. The clinical features, pre- and postoperative imaging, surgical procedure and pathological findings were extracted from electronic medical records. There were 4 female patients (80%) and 1 male patient (20%). The mean age was 42.8 years (range: 29-52 years). The coexisting tumors included subependymoma in 1 case (20%) and pituitary adenoma in 4 cases (80%). The most common clinical symptom was headache (3/5, 60%). Four patients (80%) underwent craniotomy. One patient (20%) underwent transsphenoidal surgery followed by transcranial operation. All tumor diagnoses were confirmed by histopathological examination. The mean follow-up was 38.8 mo (range: 23-96 mo), and all 5 patients were in a stable condition at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: The simultaneous occurrence of meningioma and other intracranial benign tumors is a rare clinical event. Histological examination is necessary for the accurate diagnosis. Neurosurgeons should select the appropriate surgical strategy according to the clinical features of each patient, which may provide a more favorable prognosis for individual patients.
