4 Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships The USCAP requires that anyone in a position to influence or control the content of all CME activities disclose any relevant relationship(s) which they or their spouse/partner have, or have had within the past 12 months with a commercial interest(s) [or the products or services of a commercial interest] that relate to the content of this educational activity and create a conflict of interest. Complete disclosure information is maintained in the USCAP office and has been reviewed by the CME Advisory Committee. Dr. Buckley declares she has no conflict of interest to disclose.
5 Primary human brain neoplasms Mesenchymal (e.g. meningioma) Glial infiltrating (astrocytoma, oligodendroglial) non infiltrating (pilocytic astrocytomas, ependymal) Neuronal (e.g. neurocytoma) Embryonal (e.g. medulloblastoma) Germ cell (e.g. germinoma, teratoma)
6 Meningiomas
7 Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasm autopsy brain CT with contrast Wikimedia commons
8 Meningiomas arise from arachnoid cap cells Skull Arachnoid surface Pia mater VandenBerg/missinglink.ucsf.edu
9 Common histologic features: Meningothelial variant of meningioma (WHO grade I)
10 EMA immunostaining in meningioma
11 Some other histologic variants of meningioma fibrous angiomatous secretory microcystic Wikimedia commons/jensflorian psammomatous
12 Histologic grade is the best predictor for local recurrence of meningiomas WHO Grade I 7 25% WHO Grade II (atypical) 29 52% WHO Grade III (anaplastic) 50 94%, and 19% risk of metastasis
13 WHO grade II features (atypical meningioma) Brain invasion or Increased mitotic activity (>=4/10 hpf) or 3/5 of 1. Increased cellularity 2. Small cells with increased N:C ratio 3. Prominent nucleoli 4. Sheet like growth 5. Spontaneous necrosis or Specific histologic variants: chordoid or clear cell Wikimedia commons/jensflorian
14 Chordoid meningioma Wikimedia commons/jensflorian Clear cell meningioma
15 WHO Grade III features (anaplastic meningioma) High mitotic activity (>=20/10 hpf) or Cellular anaplasia (sarcoma, carcinoma, melanoma like) or Specific histologic variants (papillary, rhabdoid)
16 Papillary meningioma Wikimedia commons/jensflorian Rhabdoid meningioma Wikimedia commons/marvin 101
17 Meningioma MIB 1 labelling indices (WHO grades I, II, III) MIB1 immunostaining of proliferation marker Ki67 WHO Grade I 1 2% WHO Grade II % WHO Grade III %
18 Treatment of meningioma Grade I: Asymptomatic or manageable symptoms: surveillance Symptomatic: maximal safe resection with post op surveillance Grade II: Maximal safe resection, followed by active surveillance if gross total resection Adjuvant external beam radiation therapy/stereotactic radiosurgery if subtotal resection Grade III: Maximal safe resection, followed by adjuvant external beam radiation therapy Chemotherapy for salvage only (anti VEGFR agents)
19 Epidemiology/etiology of meningiomas Most causes unknown Incidence increasing: environmental change/detection increase Known environmental association: ionizing radiation tinea capitis therapy in 1960 s; atomic bombs; higher dose dental x rays Younger patients More likely higher grade Structural abnormalities of 1p, 18q, 10q seen more often in radiation associated meningiomas
20 Molecular Genetics of Meningiomas NF2 gene product: Merlin Member of cell membrane/cytoskeleton associated protein 4.1 superfamily Mutated in most neurofibromatosis (NF2) meningiomas, and in 40% sporadic (fibrous, transitional, psammomatous, atypical, anaplastic) Neurofibromatosis patients have a 50 75% risk of meningioma
21 Molecular Genetics of Meningiomas Riemenschneider, Perry & Reifenberger (2006) The Lancet Neurology 5:1045
22 Meningioma: location associations Skull base and spine: slower growth, lower grade Medial skull base: non NF2 genetic profile Lateral and posterior skull base: NF2 mutations/p22 loss Non skull base: associated with higher grades

30 Diffuse astrocytoma Grade II (low grade) Ki67
31 Anaplastic astrocytoma WHO grade III (high grade) Increased cytologic atypia and mitotic figures on H&E
32 Gemistocytic astrocytoma (grade III)
33 GBM (glioblastoma multiforme), WHO grade IV Atypical mitotic figures Marked cytologic atypia

(B) MRI after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The tumor has completely disappeared except for slight enhancement adjacent to the surgical margin. (C) Recurrence of the thalamic tumor despite maintenance chemotherapy on November 16, (D) Increase in size of the thalamic tumor two months after stereotactic radiotherapy. (E) After 6 cycles of TMZ therapy, the thalamic lesion enlarged, and the patient developed dysarthria and hemiparesis. (F) After 2 courses of treatment with interferon beta and TMZ, the tumor shows a partial response.

52 Bone invasion does not increase the WHO grade of meningiomas
53 Meningiomas and gender Women: men : 1.1 Atypical/anaplastic more common in men Hormonal association not proven Breast cancer metastasizes to meningiomas (Progesterone receptor expression) Pregnancy related increase in meningioma growth due to hemodynamic changes rather than hormonal? Increased BMI increases risk for meningioma (women in one study, men in another)
54 Meningiomatosis (MA): Plaque like hemispheric cortical mass of small blood vessels with perivascular spindled cells
55 Meningiomatosis (MA): Trichrome stain
56 Meningiomatosis (MA): small blood vessels with perivascular spindled cells
57 Ki67 Sporadic cases: Solitary and associated with seizures Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) cases: Multiple, no seizures, associated with glial microhamartomas Pure MA is hamartomatous or developmental; genetic profile of benign meningothelial cells Tau
58 MA in association with meningioma (MA M) appears to be neoplastic gene deletions (NF2/4.1B) loss of merlin/protein 4.1B expression PR positivity represents a perivascular spread of the associated meningioma distinct from brain invasion
