Abstract
|

|
Meningioma is the most common brain tumor among all histologically reported malignant and non-malignant tumors of the central nervous system. Angiomatous meningioma is one of the subtypes of meningioma that is rarely reported. In this paper, we present a case of a 67-year-old female patient who sought consultation due to seizure, cognitive decline, and parkinsonism. Contrast-enhanced MRI showed a well-defined tumor in the left frontal lobe convexity with extensive perilesional edema. A tumor excision was done and histopathology studies revealed an angiomatous meningioma subtype. This case is reportable because angiomatous meningioma is a recognized rare entity. It is important to share this entity with other medical professionals and start to consider this condition in differential diagnosis when diagnosing a patient with an intracranial mass with an extensive peritumoral edema. Furthermore, the patient’s unusual presentation of parkinsonian features and its occurrence with colorectal cancer history suggest a possible association between these conditions.
