Svensk definition
En förhållandevis vanlig tumörform i det centrala nervsystemet som uppstår i spindelvävsceller. De allra flesta är väldifferentierade, vaskulära tumörer som växer långsamt och har dålig invasiv förmåga, men elakartade typer förekommer. Meningiom uppkommer företrädesvis i det parasagittala området, hjärnans konvexitet, sfenoidalkammen, luktfåran och ryggradskanalen.
Engelsk definition
A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.
