Abstract
A localization of copper and zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn-SOD) in meningiomas was examined with immunohistochemical technique. Meningiomas include five meningotheliomatous, five transitional, two fibroblastic, and one of each angioblastic, malignant and hemangiopericytic types. The Cu, Zn-SOD localized diffusely in the cytoplasm of tumor cells and in the endothelial cell of vessels and neutrophils, macrophages and red blood cells in the vessels or in the tumor tissue. The Cu, Zn-SOD content in meningiomas was markedly higher in angioblastic, malignant and hemangiopericytic than in meningotheliomatous, transitional and fibroblastic types.
