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.

Mumert ML, Jensen EM, Jensen R.
J Neurooncol. 2010;99(1):135-9.

Cranial metastases from prostate cancer simulating meningioma: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Lippman SM, Buzaid AC, Iacono RP, Steinbronn DV, Stanisic TH, Rennels MA, Yang PJ, Garewal HS, Ahmann FR.
Neurosurgery. 1986;19(5):820-3.
From the data gathered, we conclude that metastatic prostate cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of elderly males who present with characteristic clinical and radiological features of meningioma and that the classical description of meningioma is not specific.
