[Cerebromeningeal fibroxanthoma. A case report].
This is a report on an almost seven-year-old girl with a histologically evident fibroxanthoma of the leptomeninx and dura mater cerebri. To the authors' knowledge, this is the fifth case of an intracranial fibroxanthoma reported in the literature. Histologically, the tumor consists of close-lying pleomorphic cells and giant multinuclear cells with vacuolate or homogeneous eosinophilic cytoplasm and fusiform cells occasionally arranged in meningeoma-like whorls. The experience gathered thus far shows that, so far as intracranial fibroxanthomata are concerned, predictions or conclusions regarding the course of disease and the probability of recovery should be made with reservation only.
