Overview
Meningioma may be classified according to the histological criteria of the WHO into 3 groups: benign classic meningioma (WHO grade 1), atypical meningioma (WHO grade 2), and anaplastic malignant meningioma (WHO grade 3). Meningioma may also be classified according to the tumor location into 2 main subtypes: intradural and extradural meningioma.[1][2]
Classification
- Meningioma may be classified according to the histological criteria of the WHO into 3 groups: benign classic meningioma (WHO grade 1), atypical meningioma (WHO grade 2), and anaplastic malignant meningioma (WHO grade 3).[1][2]
- Benign classic meningiomas are low-grade (grade I) tumors that grow very slowly and rarely invade the surrounding tissues.[3]
- Atypical meningioma (WHO grade 2) are not clearly malignant, but grow faster than benign meningiomas.[3]
- Anaplastic malignant meningioma (WHO grade 3) tend to grow rapidly and invade the surrounding tissue.[3]
- The table below lists the subtypes of meningioma according to the WHO grades:[1][2][3]
| WHO grade | Subtypes |
|---|---|
|
Benign classic meningioma |
Meningothelial, fibroblastic, transitional, psammomatous, |
|
Atypical meningioma |
|
|
Anaplastic malignant meningioma |
Rhabdoid, papillary |
- Meningioma may also be classified according to the tumor location into 2 main subtypes: intradural and extradural meningioma.[1][2]
