Meningeal sinus histiocytosis mimicking lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma. Case report.
Extranodal sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy involving the meninges is a rare clinical entity. The authors describe the unusual case of an occipital meningeal lesion in a 25-year-old man in whom they found inflammation of the occipital lobe mimicking lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma.
