Meningioma Sarcoma-like

Sarcomid meningioma - (lat. meningoma sаrcoidеum, eng. meningioma sаrmoia)

Sarcomatous meningioma is a rare subgroup of brain tumors that are most often diagnosed in patients between 30 and 50 years of age. In addition to the brain, sarcomatous meningiomas can also be found in the spinal cord, subcutaneous space, and bones of the face and extremities. Considering the rarity of this pathology, treatment of brain sarcomas remains one of the most difficult tasks for neurosurgeons around the world. The study of sarcoma among other pathological processes of the brain indicates that often the diagnosis is made only after identifying metastases outside the area of ​​the primary neoplasm in the lymphatic system. The neoplasm has a tendency to grow aggressively and is prone to spread throughout the body. About 1/3 of sarcoma affects the cerebellum and brain stem, which, in turn, makes the prognosis of the disease extremely unfavorable. Despite the achievements of modern medicine, the tumor, in half of the cases, is characterized by death in less than a year and no more than a year. Surgery is considered the most effective way to combat head sarcomas. If the tumor is more than three centimeters or is accompanied by signs of compression of adjacent tissues and neurological manifestations, this treatment is carried out as an emergency.
