IntroductionMeningiomas have been described as slow-growing neoplasms with benign behavior derived from the connective tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas represent one-third of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) initially classified them into three groups based on their histopathological characteristics, recently incorporating molecular patterns. Small cohorts have been reported in Latin America compared to the international literature. Ignoring the epidemiology of meningiomas in this region and considering this limitation, we aim to study the epidemiology of meningiomas in our country, Mexico.Material and methodsA historical cohort was carried out on 916 patients diagnosed with intracranial meningiomas from January 2008 to January 2021, considering sociodemographic, topographic, and histopathological characteristics.ResultsIn this study, 69.4% (n=636) of patients were women with a mean overall age of 47.53 (SD=14.85) years; 79.6% (n=729) of the lesions were supratentorial with convexity meningiomas being the most prevalent at 32.6% (n=299). Histopathologically, transitional (45.7%) (n=419), meningothelial (22.1%) (n=202), and fibroblastic (16.7%) (n=153) meningiomas were the most frequent. We found significant differences between men and women in age (p=0.01), infra or supratentorial presentation (p<0.001), location of the lesion (p<0.001), and histopathological characteristics (p<0.001).ConclusionsOur results are consistent with what has been reported; however, until now, it appears as the largest series reported in our country and Latin America.
