Meningioma with extensive vacuolization--a contribution to the pathogenesis of intratumoral cyst formation.

Seven cases of meningioma with extensive vacuolization are reported. Upon plain CT, two cases appeared as diffuse hypodense masses, while two cases were mixed-density masses consisting of iso-dense and low-density components. A diffuse marked enhancement effect was seen in three cases and a thin ring enhancement effect appeared in one case. In four of these cases, macroscopic cysts were observed. It is suggested that the formation of macroscopic cysts or microscopic vacuoles mimics the developmental process of the subarachnoid space in the embryo. A review of the literature on this phenomenon is presented.

Measurement of labeling index of DNA polymerase alpha in human brain tumors. Comparative study with labeling indices of BUdR in vitro and Ki-67.

Proliferative activity of 28 human brain tumors was estimated by simultaneous measurement of DNA polymerase alpha, Ki-67 and bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) labeling indices on microscopic tissue preparations stained immunologically with monoclonal antibodies using a peroxidase technique. All the antigens were exclusively found in the nucleus. The labeling index of BUdR was lower than those of the other indicators. The values of the DNA polymerase alpha labeling index were almost the same as those of the Ki-67 labeling index. Simultaneous measurement of these parameters may provide more useful information on tumor cell growth kinetics than that of a single parameter.
