Core Tip
Core Tip: Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma (LPRM) is one of the rarest variants of meningioma. A case of LPRM is presented here with atypical imaging finding of multiple cysts around a solid mass, which has been reported even more rarely. In computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings, the mass had common features: An irregular shape, unclear boundary with neighboring brain tissue, heavy peritumoral brain edema, significant enhancement of the solid part, and dural tail sign. Multiple cysts with nonuniform size and thin wall around the solid part are uncommon imaging finding, increasing the rate of misdiagnosis. The definitive diagnosis of LPRM relies on histopathological findings.
