Lipomatous secretory meningioma: case report and review of the literature

Neuroradiology. 1998 Oct;40(10):656-8. doi: 10.1007/s002340050658.

Abstract

Secretory meningioma is a rare entity which may be characterised by imaging features unusual for other subtypes of meningioma, such as low attenuation on CT, high (fat-tissue equivalent) signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI, marked surrounding oedema, and irregular contrast enhancement. We report a case of secretory meningioma and review the literature.
