Malignant Meningioma: An International Multicentre Retrospective Study.
In contrast to benign meningiomas, malignant meningiomas (MM) are rare and associated with an unfavourable prognosis. Reports on MM concern fairly small cohorts, often comprising less than 30 cases. ⋯ This large series confirms the poor prognosis associated with MM, the treatment of which remains challenging. Patients under 65-yr-old with primary MM may live longer after complete resection and postoperative radiotherapy. Even with aggressive treatments, local control remains difficult to achieve.
