RESUMEN
Primary extradural meningioma is about 1-2% of all meningiomas. Primary intraosseous meningioma is a rare form of intra-bone tumors that account for approximately 67% of extradural meningiomas. We report a primary intraosseous meningioma of a 69-year-old man who had headaches and a mass on right parietal scalp for the past few months. Remarkably, the brain tissue within the osteolytic cavity of the skull was normal in computed tomography and magnetic resonance images. Resection, duraplasty, and cranioplasty were performed. The patient's symptoms disappeared after surgery, and the histological diagnosis was an osseous meningothelial meningioma (World Health Organization grade I).

Chordoid meningioma, classified as atypical meningioma according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification, is a rare subtype, which represents only 0.5% of all meningiomas and is associated with a high incidence of recurrence. Multiple intracranial meningiomas are rare in non-neurofibromatosis patients. We present a female patient with both of these rare types of meningioma. The patient presented with two concurrent intracranial meningiomas, with one a meningotheliomatous subtype and the other a chordoid meningioma. Given the wide array of histological differential diagnoses in chordoid meningioma, immunohistochemistry has a significant role to play in differentiating them. Recurrence in chordoid meningioma can be generally predicted based on the extent of resection, the percentage of chordoid element, and proliferation indices.

Objective:To study the relationship between the recurrence of benign meningiomas and cell proliferation, and to find some parameters that can predict the recurrence of benign meningiomas. Methods:49 samples from 15 recurrent benign meningiomas and 22 non recurrent benign meningimas were immunohistochemically stained with PCNA antibody and Ki 67 antibody.The ratios of positive tumor cells were calculated,then PCNA LI and Ki 67 LI of different groups were compared. Results:PCNA LI or Ki 67 LI in recurrent benign meningiomas was significantly higher than non recurent benign meningiomas individually( P 0.05). Conclusion:The proliferative potential of recurrent benign meningiomas was higher than that of non recurrent benign meningiomas.When the PCNA LI was greater than 2.0%,the recurrent risk was high.The proliferative potential did not increase when benign meningiomas recurred.
RESUMEN
Malignant Meningioma is rare and its initial clinical course tends to be short but otherwise indistinguishable from that of benign meningioma. And although it has been noted that many of them have propensities for invading the dural venous sinuses, the skull, and even extracranial tissues by direct spread, there seems little tendency for these to metastases. The changes of recurrence and eventual death are high in malignant meningioma. Recently we have experienced a case of malignant meningioma involving the right frontal bone and frontal lobe with infiltration to the adjacent structures.
