The influence of progestins on meningioma growth has been known for a long time, but it is only recently, with the description of meningiomas associated with synthetic progestins, that the links between hormones and meningiomas have been analyzed in greater detail. This review looks back at the epidemiological, clinical, biological, and histopathological characteristics of progestin-associated meningiomas, outlining the pathological characteristics and clinical behavior of pregnancy-associated and progestin-associated meningiomas.
