| 영문 | meningioma | 한글 | 수막종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌나 척수를 에워싸고 있는 수막에서 발생하며, 30세 이상의 사람이 많이 걸리는 병으로 대개 양성이며 성장이 느리다. 뇌종양의 약 20%를 차지한다. 주로 뇌의 상부, 볼록한 부분에 발생하지만, 뇌막이 있는 곳 어디서나 발생할 수 있어서 척수에 있는 뇌막에서도 발생한다. 수막종은 예외 없이 경질막과 유착되어 있으며 머리뼈 때문에 밖으로 자라지 못하고 항상 뇌조직 쪽으로 자란다. 그럼에도 불구하고 뇌조직 속으로 침습하는 성장을 하지 않는다. 종양이 단단하고 주위와의 경계가 좋고 혈관 발달이 좋다. 현미경소견으로 여러 가지 형으로 분류되었으나 예후와 관련된 의미는 별로 없다. |

| suprasellar cyst | <oncology, tumour> A form of primary brain tumour which develops in the pituitary gland. These tumours often secrete increased quantities of pituitary hormones (for example growth hormone) which can result in conditions such as gigantism and acromegaly. They are often benign and rare and comprise less than 5% of childhood brain tumours. Other symptoms include vision changes, headache and weight gain. Treatment often includes a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| malignant meningioma | <tumour> Meningioma that either invades brain parenchyma or metastasizes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningioma | <oncology, tumour> Common benign brain tumours that arise from the pia-arachnoid cells of the meninges. Meningiomas tend to occur along the superior sagittal sinus, along the sphenoid ridge or in the vicinity of the optic chiasm. See: primary brain tumour. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cutaneous meningioma | <tumour> A lesion in the skin and subcutis composed of meningeal cells; occurs as a developmental lesion in children or as an extension of an intracranial meningioma in adults. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psammomatous meningioma | <tumour> A firm cellular neoplasm derived from fibrous tissue of the meninges, choroid plexus, and certain other structures associated with the brain, characterised by the formation of multiple, discrete, concentrically laminated, calcareous bodies (psammoma bodies); most of these neoplasms are histologically benign, but may lead to severe symptoms as a result of compressing the brain. Synonym: angiolithic sarcoma, sand tumour, Virchow's psammoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| optic nerve meningioma | <radiology> Female (80%), middle age, (24% occur before 10 yrs, but are associated with neurofibromatosis), tubular, hyperdense mass, intense tramtrack enhancement, ** Cf: optic nerve glioma (12 Dec 1998) |
| suprasellar meningioma |
a meningioma located above the sella turcica near its tuberculum; because of its proximity to the optic chiasm, it pushes against the optic nerve and causes bitemporal hemianopia and other visual deficits. Called also m. of the tuberculum sellae.
