Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 NOBODY HAS EVER HAD AN ATYPICAL MENINGIOMA????????Or is it that your pathology report does not diffferentiate in US? 80% of Meningiomas are benign 15% are atypical 5% are malignant. atypical is the grey area in between if you like. They have some malignant features but not enough to be deemed cancerous. If you had an atypical meningioma, your pathology might say things like foci of necrosis, some calcification, some pleomorphism, aggressive, invasive, ring any bells for anyone????rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Rosemary, had cervical laminectomy on Nov. 20th. Neuro said the initial pathology said " atypical meningioma " . We haven't gotten the report yet. He said it just meant it was a little different and the possibility of regrowth may be a little higher. I'll let you know when we get the report.
