Abstract :
Background: The study was done to know the various histopathological variants of Meningiomas, the age incidence and sex ratio.
Materials and Methods:A retrospective and prospective analysis of all the samples sent for histopathology for a period of two years during June 2013 –May 2015 was done to diagnose meningioma and its variants. Cases were analyzed in detail about the complete clinical history,exact location ,clinical and radiological diagnosis.Majority of the cases were clinically and radiologically diagnosed as Meningioma.
Results:Out of 50 cases which were diagnosed as meningiomas , 21 were meningothelial variant, 15 were psammomatous, 8 were fioblastic,4 were transitional and 1 case each of anaplastic and atypical variant.Commonest agegroup was between 41–50 years. Youngest age group was 16 years and oldest was 70. Male to female ratio was 1: 1.5.
Conclusion :Majority of the meningiomas has been observed between 41 – 50 years. Their proper recognition is therefore important to allow appropriate,treatment.Histopathological study plays a major role by which we can diagnose the lesion .Meningiomas typically develop in middle aged persons and occur more frequently in women than in men.These lesions may also occur in children.
