A novel rotation and scale-invariant deep learning framework leveraging conical transformers for precise differentiation between meningioma and solitary fibrous tumor. J Pathol Inform 2025; 17:100422.

Abstract
Meningiomas, the most prevalent tumors of the central nervous system, can have overlapping histopathological features with solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), presenting a significant diagnostic challenge. Accurate differentiation between these two diagnoses is crucial for optimal medical management. Currently, immunohistochemistry and molecular techniques are the methods of choice for distinguishing between them; however, these techniques are expensive and not universally available. In this article, we propose a rotational and scale-invariant deep learning framework to enable accurate discrimination between these two tumor types. The proposed framework employs a novel architecture of conical transformers to capture both global and local imaging markers from whole-slide images, accommodating variations across different magnification scales. A weighted majority voting schema is utilized to combine individual scale decisions, ultimately producing a complementary and more accurate diagnostic outcome. A dataset comprising 92 patients (46 with meningioma and 46 with SFT) was used for evaluation. The experimental results demonstrate robust performance across different validation methods. In train-test evaluation, the model achieved 92.27% accuracy, 87.77% sensitivity, 97.55% specificity, and 92.46% F1-score. Performance further improved in 4-fold cross-validation, achieving 94.68% accuracy, 96.05% sensitivity, 93.11% specificity, and 95.07% F1-score. These findings highlight the potential of AI-based diagnostic approaches for precise differentiation between meningioma and SFT, paving the way for innovative diagnostic tools in pathology.

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Nomogram for Differentiating a Solitary Fibrous Tumor (World Health Organization Grade II) From an Angiomatous Meningioma. Cureus 2025; 17:e79470. [PMID: 40135019 PMCID: PMC11933727 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.79470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/22/2025] [Indexed: 03/27/2025] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate preoperative differentiation between intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT, World Health Organization grade II) and angiomatous meningioma (AM) is crucial for surgical planning and prognosis prediction. While conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used, distinguishing these tumors based on imaging alone remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and MRI features to improve diagnostic accuracy between SFT and AM, focusing on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and conventional MRI parameters. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 patients (23 with SFT and 28 with AM) confirmed by pathology. Clinical and MRI characteristics were assessed using t-tests and chi-square tests. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis evaluated diagnostic performance. A nomogram integrating ADC values with conventional MRI features was developed and validated using calibration curves. RESULTS Significant differences in tumor shape, cystic necrosis, T1-weighted imaging and T2-weighted imaging signal intensities, and ADC values were observed between SFT and AM (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed these factors as independent predictors, with ADC demonstrating the highest diagnostic performance at an optimal cutoff value of 1.08 × 10-³ mm²/second. The ROC analysis showed that combining ADC with conventional MRI features improved diagnostic accuracy. The calibration curve demonstrated strong agreement between nomogram predictions and actual outcomes. CONCLUSION Integrating ADC values with clinical and MRI features provides a reliable method for differentiating intracranial SFT from AM. This approach enhances diagnostic precision, aiding in optimized clinical decision-making and surgical planning.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the value of whole tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) semantic features in predicting meningioma progesterone receptor (PR) expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS The imaging, pathological, and clinical data of 53 patients with PR-negative meningiomas and 52 patients with PR-positive meningiomas were retrospectively reviewed. The whole tumor was outlined using Firevoxel software, and the ADC histogram parameters were calculated. The differences in ADC histogram parameters and MRI semantic features were compared between the two groups. The predictive values of parameters for PR expression were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. The correlation between whole-tumor ADC histogram parameters and PR expression in meningiomas was also analyzed. RESULTS Grading was able to predict the PR expression in meningiomas (p = 0.012), though the semantic features of MRI were not (all p > 0.05). The mean, Perc.01, Perc.05, Perc.10, Perc.25, and Perc.50 histogram parameters were able to predict meningioma PR expression (all p < 0.05). The predictive performance of the combined histogram parameters improved, and the combination of grade and histogram parameters provided the optimal predictive value, with an area under the curve of 0.849 (95%CI: 0.766-0.911) and sensitivity, specificity, ACC, PPV, and NPV of 73.08%, 81.13%, 77.14%, 79.20%, and 75.40%, respectively. The mean, Perc.01, Perc.05, Perc.10, Perc.25, and Perc.50 histogram parameters were positively correlated with PR expression (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Whole tumor ADC histogram parameters have additional clinical value in predicting PR expression in meningiomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the value of histogram analysis of postcontrast T1-weighted (T1C) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images in predicting the grade and proliferative activity of adult intracranial ependymomas. METHODS Forty-seven adult intracranial ependymomas were enrolled and underwent histogram parameters extraction (including minimum, maximum, mean, 1st percentile (Perc.01), Perc.05, Perc.10, Perc.25, Perc.50, Perc.75, Perc.90, Perc.95, Perc.99, standard deviation (SD), variance, coefficient of variation (CV), skewness, kurtosis, and entropy of T1C and ADC) using FireVoxel software. Differences in histogram parameters between grade 2 and grade 3 adult intracranial ependymomas were compared. Receiver operating characteristic curves and logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the diagnostic performance. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between histogram parameters and Ki-67 proliferation index. RESULTS Grade 3 intracranial ependymomas group showed significantly higher Perc.95, Perc.99, SD, variance, CV, and entropy of T1C; lower minimum, mean, Perc.01, Perc.05, Perc.10, Perc.25, Perc.50 of ADC; and higher CV and entropy of ADC than grade 2 intracranial ependymomas group (all p < 0.05). Entropy (T1C) and Perc.10 (ADC) had a higher diagnostic performance with AUCs of 0.805 and 0.827 among the histogram parameters of T1C and ADC, respectively. The diagnostic performance was improved by combining entropy (T1C) and Perc.10 (ADC), with an AUC of 0.857. Significant correlations were observed between significant histogram parameters of T1C (r = 0.296-0.417, p = 0.001-0.044) and ADC (r = -0.428-0.395, p = 0.003-0.038). CONCLUSION Whole-tumor histogram analysis of T1C and ADC may be a promising approach for predicting the grade and proliferative activity of adult intracranial ependymomas.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:1467-1484. [PMID: 38392213 PMCID: PMC10887834 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46020095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The orbital manifestation of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is exceptionally rare and poses specific challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Its rather exceptional behavior among all SFTs comprises a high tendency towards local recurrence, but it rarely culminates in metastatic disease. This raises the question of prognostic factors in orbital SFTs (oSFTs). Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)-promoter mutations have previously been linked to an unfavorable prognosis in SFTs of other locations. We analyzed the prevalence of TERT promoter mutations of SFTs in the orbital compartment. We performed a retrospective, descriptive clinico-histopathological analysis of nine cases of oSFTs between the years of 2017 and 2021. A TERT promoter mutation was present in one case, which was classified with intermediate metastatic risk. Local recurrence or progress occurred in six cases after primary resection; no distant metastases were reported. Multimodal imaging repeatedly showed particular morphologic patterns, including tubular vascular structures and ADC reduction. The prevalence of the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT was 11%, which is similar to the prevalence of extra-meningeal SFTs of the head and neck and lower than that in other extra-meningeal compartments. In the present study, the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT manifested in a case with an unfavorable prognosis, comprising aggressive local tumor growth, local recurrence, and eye loss.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) histogram features in predicting the expression status of Ki-67 in patients with solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumours (SPTP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study analysed venous phase CT images of 39 patients with SPTP confirmed at surgery and histopathology and measured using the Ki-67 proliferation index from November 2015 to February 2022. According to the Ki-67 proliferation index, they were divided into high expression (Ki-67 ≥ 4%) and low expression (Ki-67 < 4%) groups. The histogram features of quantitative parameters were extracted using MaZda software, and the quantitative parameters of CT histograms were compared between groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the patients were plotted according to the parameters, with statistically significant differences. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated, and the effectiveness of the histogram parameters in predicting Ki-67 expression was analysed and evaluated. RESULTS In total, 27 SPTP patients were enrolled, including 11 with high expression of Ki-67 and 16 with low expression. Comparative analysis of the Ki-67 high- and low-expression groups revealed a statistically significant in necrosis and variance (p<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of necrosis and variance predicting Ki-67 expression status were 0.753 and 0.841, the sensitivities were 81.8% and 81.3%, and the specificities were 68.7% and 81.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Preoperative CT histogram features help predict Ki-67 expression status in patients with SPTP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in differentiating fibroblastic meningiomas (FM) from non-fibroblastic WHO grade 1 meningiomas (nFM). METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the histopathological and diagnostic imaging data of 220 patients with histopathologically confirmed FM and nFM. The whole tumors were delineated on axial ADC images, and histogram parameters (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, as well as the 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentile ADC [ADCp1, ADCp10, ADCp50, ADCp90, and ADCp99, respectively]) were obtained. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the most valuable variables for discriminating FM from nFM WHO grade 1 meningiomas, and their diagnostic efficacy in differentiating FM from nFM before surgery was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS The mean, variance, ADCp50, ADCp90, and ADCp99 of the FM group were all lower than those of the nFM group (P < 0.05), there was significant difference in location and sex (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed ADCp99 (P < 0.001) and location (P = 0.007) were the most valuable parameters in the discrimination of FM and nFM WHO grade 1 meningiomas. The diagnostic efficacy was achieved an AUC of 0.817(95% CI, 0.759-0.866), the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 66.4%, 83.6%, 75.0%, 80.2%, and 71.3%, respectively. CONCLUSION ADC histogram analysis is helpful in noninvasive differentiation of FM and nFM WHO grade 1 meningiomas, and combined ADCp99 and location have the best diagnostic efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative differentiation of atypical meningioma (AtM) from transitional meningioma (TrM) is critical to clinical treatment. PURPOSE To investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in differentiating AtM from TrM and its correlation with the Ki-67 proliferation index (PI). METHODS Clinical, imaging, and pathological data of 78 AtM and 80 TrM were retrospectively collected. Regions of interest (ROIs) were delineated on axial ADC images using MaZda software and histogram parameters (mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, 1st percentile [ADCp1], 10th percentile [ADCp10], 50th percentile [ADCp50], 90th percentile [ADCp90], and 99th percentile [ADCp99]) were generated. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences in histogram parameters between the two groups; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess diagnostic efficacy in differentiating AtM from TrM preoperatively. The correlation between histogram parameters and Ki-67 PI was analyzed. RESULTS All histogram parameters of AtM were lower than those of TrM, and the variance, skewness, kurtosis, ADCp90, and ADCp99 were significantly different (P < 0.05). Combined ADC histogram parameters (variance, skewness, kurtosis, ADCp90, and ADCp99) achieved the best diagnostic performance for distinguishing AtM from TrM. Area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 0.800%, 76.25%, 67.95%, 70.15%, 70.93%, and 73.61%, respectively. All histogram parameters were negatively correlated with Ki-67 PI (r = -0.012 to -0.293). CONCLUSION ADC histogram analysis is a potential tool for non-invasive differentiation of AtM from TrM preoperatively, and ADC histogram parameters were negatively correlated with the Ki-67 PI.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the value of histogram analysis based on iodine-based material decomposition (IMD) images obtained through dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to differentiate gastric schwannoma (GS) from gastric stromal tumor (GST) (≤5 cm) preoperatively. Methods From January 2015 to January 2023, 15 patients with GS and 30 patients with GST (≤5 cm) who underwent biphasic contrast-enhanced scans using DECT were enrolled in this study. For each tumor, we reconstructed IMD images at the arterial phase (AP) and venous phase (VP). Nine histogram parameters were automatically extracted and selected using MaZda software based on the IMD of AP and VP, respectively, including mean, 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentile of the iodine concentration value (Perc.01, Perc.10, Perc.50, Perc.90, and Perc.99), variance, skewness, and kurtosis. The extracted IMD histogram parameters were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The optimal IMD histogram parameters were selected using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results Among the IMD histogram parameters of AP, the mean, Perc.50, Perc.90, Perc.99, variance, and skewness of the GS group were lower than that of the GST group (all P < 0.05). Among the IMD histogram parameters of VP, Perc.90, Perc.99, and the variance of the GS group was lower than those of the GST group (all P < 0.05). The ROC analysis showed that Perc.99 (AP) generated the best diagnostic performance with the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity being 0.960, 86.67%, and 93.33%, respectively, when using 71.00 as the optimal threshold. Conclusion Histogram analysis based on IMD images obtained through DECT holds promise as a valuable tool for the preoperative distinction between GS and GST (≤5 cm).

Abstract
Noninvasive imaging methods are used to accurately diagnose meningiomas and track their growth and location. These techniques, including computed tomography, MRI, and nuclear medicine, are also being used to gather more information about the biology of the tumors and potentially predict their grade and impact on prognosis. In this article, we will discuss the current and developing uses of these imaging techniques including additional analysis using radiomics in the diagnosis and treatment of meningiomas, including treatment planning and prediction of tumor behavior.

Wang G, Zhou J. The value of whole-volume apparent diffusion coefficient histogram analysis in preoperatively distinguishing intracranial solitary fibrous tumor and transitional meningioma. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1155162.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the value of whole-volume apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in preoperatively distinguishing intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) from transitional meningiomas (TM), thereby assisting the establishment of the treatment protocol. Methods Preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging datasets of 24 patients with SFT and 28 patients with TM were used to extract whole-volume ADC histogram parameters, including variance, skewness, kurtosis, and mean, as well as 1st (AP1), 10th (AP10), 50th (AP50), 90th (AP90), and 99th (AP99) percentiles of ADC using MaZda software. The independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences between ADC histogram parameters of SFT and TM. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the performance of significant ADC histogram parameters. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate correlations between these parameters and the Ki-67 expression levels. Results SFT exhibited significantly higher variance, and lower AP1 and AP10 (all P < 0.05) than TM. The best diagnostic performance was obtained by variance, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.848 (0.722-0.933). However, there was no significant difference in skewness, kurtosis, mean, or other percentiles of ADC between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Significant correlations were also observed between the Ki-67 proliferation index and variance (r = 0.519), AP1 (r = -0.425), and AP10 (r = -0.372) (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Whole-volume ADC histogram analysis is a feasible tool for non-invasive preoperative discrimination between intracranial SFT and TM, with variance being the most promising prospective parameter.

World Neurosurg 2023; 170:68-83. [PMID: 36403933 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.11.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is characterized by aggressive local behavior and high post-resection recurrence rates. It is difficult to distinguish between SFT and meningiomas, which are typically benign. The goal of this study was to systematically review radiological features that differentiate meningioma and SFT. METHODS We performed a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to identify studies that used imaging techniques to identify radiological differentiators of SFT and meningioma. RESULTS Eighteen studies with 1565 patients (SFT: 662; meningiomas: 903) were included. The most commonly used imaging modality was diffusion weighted imaging, which was reported in 11 studies. Eight studies used a combination of diffusion weighted imaging and T1- and T2-weighted sequences to distinguish between SFT and meningioma. Compared to all grades/subtypes of meningioma, SFT is associated with higher apparent diffusion coefficient, presence of narrow-based dural attachments, lack of dural tail, less peritumoral brain edema, extensive serpentine flow voids, and younger age at initial diagnosis. Tumor volume was a poor differentiator of SFT and meningioma, and overall, there were less consensus findings in studies exclusively comparing angiomatous meningiomas and SFT. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians can differentiate SFT from meningiomas on preoperative imaging by looking for higher apparent diffusion coefficient, lack of dural tail/narrow-based dural attachment, less peritumoral brain edema, and vascular flow voids on neuroimaging, in addition to younger age at diagnosis. Distinguishing between angiomatous meningioma and SFT is much more challenging, as both are highly vascular pathologies. Tumor volume has limited utility in differentiating between SFT and various grades/subtypes of meningioma.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the central nervous system is a rare spindle cell tumor of mesenchymal origin. The present study reports the case of a 44-year-old male patient with SFT. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the majority of the intracranial tumors exhibited uneven low signals on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and low mixed signals on T2WI, and there was an enhancement on enhanced scanning. Furthermore, the distal part of the left occipital lobe exhibited hypersignals on T1WI and T2WI, and this was significantly enhanced following enhanced scanning. The lower part of the scalp exhibited low signals on T1WI and high signals on T2WI, and there was no notable enhancement following enhanced scanning. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated an elevated choline/creatine peak in the solid part of the tumor. Under the microscope, the tumor exhibited characteristic 'staghorn-shaped' blood vessels. As SFT is difficult to differentially diagnose via imaging, immunohistochemical analysis of CD34, vimentin and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 was performed for the definitive diagnosis of SFT. Of note, surgical resection was the preferred treatment for SFT; however, due to the rarity of the tumor, subsequent adjuvant therapy and prognosis require further investigation.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of whole-lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in discriminating microcystic meningioma (MCM) from atypical meningioma (AM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and preoperative MRI data of 20 patients with MCM and 26 patients with AM were analysed retrospectively. Whole-lesion apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis was performed on each patient's lesion to obtain histogram parameters, including mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, the 1st (ADCp1), 10th (ADCp10), 50th (ADCp50), 90th (ADCp90), and 99th (ADCp99) percentiles of ADC. The differences between the ADC histogram parameters of the two tumours were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic performance of statistically significant parameters in distinguishing the two tumours. RESULTS The mean, ADCp1, ADCp10, ADCp50, and ADCp90 of MCM were greater than those of AM, and significant differences were observed in these parameters between MCM and AM (all p<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the mean had the highest area under the curve value (AUC) in distinguishing the two tumours (AUC = 0.852), when using 120.46 × 10-6 mm2/s as the optimal threshold, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for discriminating the two groups were 84.6%, 75%, 80.4%, 81.5%, and 78.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION Histogram analysis based on whole-lesion ADC maps was useful for discriminating between MCM from AM preoperatively, with the mean being the most promising potential parameter.

Abstract
An 86-year-old man sustained progressive motor weakness in the left lower extremity for 1 month. Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed an isodense mass in the right parietal lobe, with a smooth-contoured focal erosion in the adjacent parietal bone. The extra-axial tumor appeared isointense on T1- and hyperintense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with intense enhancement. On three-dimensional CT angiography, the ectatic left occipital artery coursed into the right parietal foramina and connected with a dilated meningeal vessel supplying the tumor. The focal erosion formed in the inner parietal bone was located adjacent to the feeding vessel. A total tumor resection was achieved. The microscopic findings of the resected specimen were consistent with a World Health Organization grade III hemangiopericytoma (HPC). Bone erosion and peripheral feeding vessels may be characteristic findings of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)/HPC. Careful interpretation of neuroimages could help detect clues for distinguishing an SFT/HPC masquerading as a meningioma from a true meningioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in preoperative evaluating intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and further investigate the relationship between ADC histogram parameters and the Ki-67 proliferation index. METHODS From January 2014 to March 2022, 37 patients with intracranial SFT (grade 2, n = 20; grade 3, n = 17) who underwent preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging were enrolled in this study. For each tumor, nine histogram parameters were automatically extracted and selected using MaZda software based on the axial ADC maps of the whole tumor, including mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, as well as the 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentile ADC (Perc.01, Perc.10, Perc.50, Perc.90, Perc.99). Differences in ADC histogram parameters between grade 2 and 3 intracranial SFT were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to determine the diagnostic performance, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between these parameters and the Ki-67 proliferation index. RESULTS The mean, Perc.01, Perc.10, Perc.50, Perc.90, and Perc.99 were significantly lower in grade 3 than in grade 2 intracranial SFT (all P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that these parameters can effectively distinguish between the two groups, with Perc.01 generating the best differentiation performance. Significant negative correlations were also observed between these parameters and the Ki-67 proliferation index (r = -0.436 ~ -0.522, all P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in variance, skewness, or kurtosis between the two groups (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS ADC histogram analysis enables effective preoperative distinction of grade 2 and grade 3 intracranial SFT.
