Abstract
Objective: Progestin exposure, such as with cyproterone acetate (CPA), could increase the risk of developing osteomeningiomas (OMs). This study investigated the volumetric dynamics of the meningeal and intraosseous components of these tumors and their correlation following CPA discontinuation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 17 patients with 21 OMs diagnosed during ongoing CPA treatment. Volumes of the meningeal and intraosseous components of the OMs were measured at multiple time points. Volume dynamics over time were modeled using linear, exponential, power, and Gompertz tumor growth models. Hormone receptor expression in both components was evaluated via immunohistochemical analysis in the 4 tumors on which surgery was performed.
Results: The Gompertz tumor growth model was the most accurate in fitting the data. After CPA cessation, the meningeal component showed volume reduction in 95% of tumors (a substantial decrease in 40% and a modest decrease in 55% of tumors). The intraosseous component exhibited sustained growth in all cases, characterized by three distinct dynamics: slowing growth (40%), linear growth (45%), and pseudo-exponential growth (15%). A significant correlation was observed between the volumetric courses in the two components (rho = 0.49, p = 0.03). Hormone receptor analysis revealed no differences in expression between the two components.
Conclusions: While the meningeal and intraosseous components of OMs respond differently to CPA withdrawal, their growth dynamics remain correlated.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, and Neurosurgical Focus are devoted to the publication of original works relating primarily to neurosurgery, including studies in clinical neurophysiology, organic neurology, ophthalmology, radiology, pathology, and molecular biology. The Editors and Editorial Boards encourage submission of clinical and laboratory studies. Other manuscripts accepted for review include technical notes on instruments or equipment that are innovative or useful to clinicians and researchers in the field of neuroscience; papers describing unusual cases; manuscripts on historical persons or events related to neurosurgery; and in Neurosurgical Focus, occasional reviews. Letters to the Editor commenting on articles recently published in the Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics are welcome.
