Recurrence of meningiomas after operation

Recurrence of meningiomas after operation

S M Marks et al. Surg Neurol. 1986 May.

Abstract

The authors reviewed 53 consecutive patients who underwent surgical removal of a meningioma within a 10-year period. The removal was graded macroscopically as either a total removal (types I-III) or a subtotal removal (type IV). The patients were observed for an average period of 5.3 years, during which time there was a 9.5% recurrence after type I removals and an 18.4% recurrence after type II. There was regrowth in 20% of the subtotal group. There was no correlation with age or sex, but histology was important. Syncytial tumors tended to recur, and mitosis and area of focal necrosis were associated with a tendency towards recurrence. The significant features associated with recurrence are discussed.
