Abstract
Intracranial meningiomas were identified in 28 dogs based on histologic examination of tissue. The average age of the dogs was 11 years, and 83% (20/24) were 10 years old or older. German shepherd and mixed breed were most common (31% each, 8/26). Grossly, meningiomas were oval, dome-shaped and flattened masses adherent to the dura and compressing the brain. Forty-eight percent (15/26) of the tumors affected the dorsal surface of the brain, and two thirds of these were located in the anterior half. Histologically, tumor types were transitional (13), meningiotheliomatous (11), angioblastic (three), and fibroblastic (one). There was direct invasion of the brain in 27% (6/22) although we observed neurologic signs and pathologic changes in 88% (23/26) and 90% (18/20) of the dogs, respectively. Intracranial menigioma can be compared and contrasted with this tumor in man and cats.
