Abstract:
A large tumor located at right temporoparietal lobe was found in 25-years-old female. The brain CT scan and MR imaging revealed a large multi-lobulated mass which was composed of solid and cystic portions involving right temporoparietal lobe. Preoperative routine laboratory check showed microcytic hypochromic anemia and monoclonal gammopathy with bate-gamma bridging. The mass was removed totally by operation and histologic diagnosis resulted in chordoid meningioma surrounded by massive polyclonal lymphoplasmacellular infiltrates. After the mass was removed, the blood picture of the patient normalized and the patient discharged with neurologically free stage. We report this case with relative literatures.
