Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

Angiofibromas

Angiofibroma consist of many often dilated vessels.

	Uncommon association of cerebral meningioma, parathyroid adenoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma in a patient harbouring a rare germline variant in the CDKN1B gene.
	Bugalho MJ, Domingues R. BMJ Case Rep. 2016;2016:.
	Its clinical presentation includes MEN 1-related tumours such as parathyroid and anterior pituitary tumours in possible association with gonadal, adrenal, renal and thyroid tumours as well as facial angiofibromas, colagenomas and meningiomas.

	Blake DM, Husain Q, Kanumuri VV, Svider PF, Eloy JA, Liu JK. J Clin Neurosci. 2014;21(8):1419-23.
	Often, these tumors can be confused for other entities, especially olfactory groove meningiomas and esthesioneuroblastomas in the olfactory groove region, and juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas in the infratemporal fossa.
