✓ Two cases of lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma manifesting clinical and radiological characteristics unusual for a meningioma are reported. The patient in Case 1 was a 22-year-old man with a 9-year history of bilateral visual disturbances and recent dyspnea. An en plaque skull base mass, which was partially resected, was found at surgery to extend down from the planum sphenoidale into the spinal canal to C-5. Seven years later most of the residual mass in the spinal canal had disappeared, although a localized round tumor recurred at C2–3. The patient in Case 2 was a 24-year-old woman with an original diagnosis of clival meningioma, which recurred as multiple skull base lesions that spontaneously regressed in 10 months. These two cases and others reported in the literature indicate that lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningiomas may manifest peculiar biological behavior more typical of intracranial granulomas than of meningiomas.

The Impact

Abstract Background Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the skull base is a rare, locally destructive lesion managed with a variety of treatments. We explore the impact of treatment on outcome and assess the prognosis of IPT. Methods This is a retrospective review of IPT of the skull base at a tertiary academic medical center. The primary outcome was radiographic progression after treatment. Outcome versus tumor location was also examined and a prognostic model was developed using a logistic regression. Results The demographics of 21 patients with IPT are reported. Treatment consisted of corticosteroids (in 80.1% of patients), disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs; 33.3%), surgical resection (28.6%), radiation (23.8%), antibiotics (14.3%), chemotherapy (rituximab; 9.5%), and antivirals (4.8%). At 50.7 months, 50.8% had radiographic progression. Local therapy trended toward having a better response than systemic therapy (p = 0.60). IPT of the orbit required 2.4 treatment modalities, compared with 2.0 for pharyngeal IPT, and 1.3 for posterior skull base masses (p = 0.14). A total of 75% orbital IPT underwent radiographic progression, compared with 71% of pharyngeal IPT and 50% of posterior skull base masses (p = 0.62). Sixteen patients were used to create the logistic model of radiographic progression. The Cox–Snell R 2 was 0.71 (p = 0.03). No individual variables were statistically significant. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is among the largest sample of cases describing the presentation, treatment, and prognosis of IPT of the skull base. Our data suggest that there may be an improved response with local therapy over systemic therapy and better prognosis among posterolateral skull base masses.
