This condition can affect individuals of all ages, but most commonly children, with a peak incidence in toddlers. Symptoms may vary depending on the affected organ or system. <b>Case Report</b>  A 43-year-old man presented with a left temporal stabbing headache unresponsive to management with therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Initial evaluation revealed a contrast-enhanced left temporal extra-axial lesion with bone and muscle compromise. Differential diagnoses, including multiple myeloma, were explored. Initial laboratory tests and imaging studies showed no other abnormalities, except for splenomegaly and a residual granuloma in the left lung. En bloc resection of the lesion was recommended. The patient underwent surgical intervention, which included resection of the dural lesion and all borders of an infiltrating tumor within the temporalis muscle and the affected portion of the left temporal bone. Posterior pathological examination revealed LCH. Postoperative course was uneventful. Follow-up appointments were scheduled after pathology results confirmed the diagnosis. Patient has continued follow-up for the following 3 months after the surgical procedure. Further evaluations are pending. <b>Discussion</b>  This case report corresponds to a patient with LCH. These patients are individualized and stratified based on local or systemic involvement to determine the most appropriate type of management. This is a rare case as LCH is rare in older patients and the initial presented lesion initially mimicked a meningioma; however, its atypical behavior and associated lytic compromise led to consideration of possible differential diagnoses. <b>Conclusion</b>  LCH can present with lytic bone lesions, mimicking other conditions, including infiltrative neoplastic lesions.

Meningiomas are particularly problematic when they invade deep or vital structures, causing the tumors to be inoperable. Nonsurgical adjunctive or salvage treatments to shrink a meningioma with multiple recurrences, located in deep-seated area or surgically unfit area, remain underexplored. The authors report a rare case of a spontaneously necrotic meningioma (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I) in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus on chronic methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. <b>Case Study</b>  A 29-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus had been treated with methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine for 7 years. She presented with episodes of seizures and hemiparesis. Neuroimaging revealed a possible necrotic meningioma in the left parietal parasagittal area. Subsequent intraoperative findings showed lytic tissue of the tumor, and by histopathology results the tumor was classified as WHO grade I with massive necrosis. After craniotomy with tumor removal, the patient's motor function fully recovered without recurrent seizures. <b>Discussions</b>  Necrotizing of small and benign meningioma is rarely found but otherwise interesting. The cause of this phenomenon is not yet understood thoroughly. In this case, we suspected various possible causes such as vasculitis interrupting blood supply, use of immunosuppressive drugs such as hydroxychloroquine or methotrexate, or, less likely, latent infections in the immunocompromised patient. Despite the lack of more evidence supports, this finding encourages further study of nonsurgical or salvage treatment of inoperable meningioma, so sequalae after refractory recurrences of meningioma can be prevented, and patient treatment outcomes can be improved.</p>","PeriodicalId":44256,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports","volume":"85 1","pages":"e25-e28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10978092/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140319463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
