Meningiomas are uncommon tumors in children and either more rarely encountered in the pineal region. We report two cases of meningioma of the pineal region in children. One of these cases was a five years-old girl and the other a one year-old boy. No specific clinical presentation or tomographic examinations findings was identified before treatment, suggestive of a diagnosis of menigioma. The clinical and laboratory features were very similar to the most common tumors of the pineal region. Prior to the surgery, the histology of these tumors was not suspected. Both patients underwent direct surgery and complete removal was achieved by a suboccipital transtentorial approach. The tumors originated from velum interpositum in both cases. At the follow up, one case presented with recurrence six years later, and she underwent a reoperation with total resection without morbidity. Long-term follow up presented no other recurrences.

An inflammatory gingival mass surrounding resorbing teeth was diagnosed via biopsy in a 9-year-old domestic shorthair cat. A dorsal rim excision was performed to remove the entire mass with associated teeth and bone. Histopathological diagnosis of the en bloc tissue revealed an odontogenic fibromyxoma. Extensive literature review revealed few case reports of companion animals with this neoplasm, and none in a feline patient. This report documents the clinical presentation, diagnostic differentials, surgical therapy, and long-term follow-up of an odontogenic fibromyxoma in a cat.

ABSTRACT:Background:Stereotactically-focused radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVM) has been in widespread use for over two decades. Over this timeframe the indications for treatment, standardization of radiation dosage, and the results expected from treatment have been elaborated. Less well known are the long-term complications associated with SRS. We report three patients who had SRS for the treatment of AVM who developed a cyst at the site of treatment as a late complication.Methods:From 201 patients treated by SRS for an AVM, three developed a cyst at the treatment site. Their clinical presentation, the characteristics of the AVMs and the treatment were reviewed, as well as similar cases gleaned from the literature.Results:Three women, aged 28-43 years, had an AVM treated by: craniotomy and clipping of arterial feeders followed by SRS, by craniotomy for resection followed by SRS or by endo vascular embolization and SRS. The patients did well following treatment but two of them developed a symptomatic and the other an asymptomatic cyst at the treatment site 3-19 years later. The symptomatic patients underwent marsupialization of the cyst and the other is under observation.Conclusion:Stereotactic radiosurgery is an established and safe treatment for patients with AVMs. Delayed cyst formation can occur many years after treatment and long term follow-up is indicated in patients whose AVM has been treated with SRS.
