OBJECT:The dural tail was first described as a thin,tapering rim of dural enhancement,in continuity with meningiomas on enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance(MR) *** the exact nature of the tail pathology is still *** we would like to investigate the immunohistochemical characteristics of dural tail in intracranial *** and METHODS:Twenty-two patients with meningioma undergoing MRI imaging showed dural *** immunohistochemical(IHC) staining,expression of EMA,Vimentin,ki-67,CD34 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) were evaluated between tumor mass and dural tail of meningioma.H&E and Masson’s Trichrome staining were also ***:Sixteen of 22 cases(72.7%) show dural tail involved by tumor *** staining showed Vimentin and EMA intensively expressed in tumour mass,ki-67 expression nearly negative in both tumour mass and dural tail,CD34 overexpressed in duarl tail,VEGF overexpressed in tumour cells which invade to dural ***’s Trichrome staining clearly showed components of tumor,tail and dural ***:Our study showed most of dural tail involved by tumor cells(72.7%),different immunohistochemical staining of CD34,and VEGF profiles obtained between tumour mass and dural tail.
