Abstract
Meningiomas are benign neoplasms of the meninges, accounting for a significant portion of intracranial tumors. Their clinical presentation and histological features can vary widely, making accurate diagnosis and management crucial. This study aims to explore the clinico‐morphological spectrum of meningiomas at a tertiary care center, providing valuable insights into their prevalence, demographics, clinical characteristics and histological subtypes. This was a retrospective study of 25 histologically diagnosed cases of meningioma during period of one year. Demographic, clinical and radiological data were collected from medical records. The detail histopathological examination were studied by review of hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) stained slides. Morphological classification and grading of meningiomas were done as per WHO criteria. In this study, the most common age group was 41‐50 years (32%) with female predominance of 68%. The most common symptom was headache seen in 96% patients followed by vomiting in 80% patients. Most of the tumor were intracranial with frontal lobe was the commonest site. Meningothelial meningioma was the most common histological variant. 92% of meningiomas were histologically categorised as Grade‐I. Our findings highlight the diverse nature of these tumors, with variations in patient demographics, clinical presentations, and histological subtypes. Histologically, meningiomas were predominantly benign, but a subset exhibited atypical or malignant features, emphasizing the importance of accurate classification and grading for prognostic purposes.
