El diagnóstico histopatológico es a veces un método impreciso para poder predecir la conducta biológica futura de los meningiomas intracraneales. Se describe el caso de una paciente que era portadora de un meningioma ventricular y cuya conducta revistió una gran agresividad a pesar de tener una apariencia histológicamente benigna. Esta conducta anormal podría ser detectable por medio de estudios de citometría de flujo y de receptores hormonales esteroideos.
Sometimes the histopathological diagnosis is not reliable in predicting the clinical behaviour of intracranial meningiomas. We report the case of a patient with a ventricular meningioma behaving aggresively in spite of its benign histological appearance. This abnormal behaviour could only be detected by means of flow cytometry and steroid-receptor hormonal studies.
