Primary Liposarcoma of the Meninges: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction

Liposarcoma of meninges is extremely rare pathology which is hardly reported in scientific literature. We present a interesting extraaxial lesion of brain which was proved to be primary liposarcoma of meninges.

Case Report

A 49 years old gentleman presented with gradual headache for 3 months. He was found to be have extraxial mass with heterogenous signal intensity on cross sectional imaging and given the provisional diagnosis of meningioma. On pathology and immunohistochemistry, it showed features of liposarcoma. Screening of extremities and abdomen showed no primary elsewhere.

Conclusion

Though extremely rare, Liposarcoma of meninges should be considered as differential diagnosis to meningioma in extraaxial mass with heterogenous signal intensity as prognosis and treatment plan are different .
