Profile of Meningioma Patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital
Downloads
Highlight:
- Meningioma, the most common primary brain tumor, is typically found in women aged 40-49 years old.
- Meningiomas can show distinctive characteristics on clinical, radiological, and histopathological examinations.
- There were significant differences in histopathological grading between male and female patients, as well as between homogenous and heterogenous contrast enhancement.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Meningioma is an intracranial extracranial tumor that arises from arachnoid cells. It is reported to be the most common primary brain tumor (39%). Meningioma is diagnosed based on clinical and radiological findings, but a definitive diagnosis requires histopathology examination. However, the clinical, radiological, and histopathological profile of meningioma is rarely studied in Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to identify the clinical, radiological, and histopathological profile of meningioma patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya from 2017 to 2021. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data collected from electronic medical records at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya in 2017-2021. Results: A total of 256 patients were included in this study. The majority of the patients in this study were female (83.98%), aged 40-49 years old (43.36%), and mostly had the clinical symptom of headache (35.94%). Meningiomas were mostly WHO grade I (85.16%), with a transitional subtype (44.92). Based on the Kruskal-Wallis test, there were differences in histopathological grading between male and female patients (p = 0.000), as well as between homogenous and heterogenous tumor enhancement (p = 0.027). However, there were no differences in histopathological grading between the dural tail findings (p = 0.181) and hyperostosis findings (p = 0.135). Conclusion: Meningioma was found to be more common in females than in males, with the peak occurring in 40-49 years old. The most prevalent clinical symptom was headache, and convexity was the most common location for these tumors, most of which were larger than 3 cm. The majority of meningiomas were WHO grade I with transitional subtype.
