Abstract
For the purpose of examining the characteristics of dyslipidemia and fatty liver in patients with Werner syndrome in Japan in recent years, we searched all case reports of Japanese Werner syndrome reported on Medical Online and PubMed since 1996, and collected and examined the data and clinical features described in these reports. In addition, as there are few descriptions of treatment methods in these reports from Medical Online and PubMed, we analyzed 12 cases for which detailed data on treatment methods are available at Chiba University. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 133-138.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Werner Syndrome, or adult progeria, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the Werner Syndrome Gene belonging to the family of RecQ helicase. Malignant mesenchymal tumours and atherosclerosis are typical causes of death. Intracranial meningiomas are frequently described in these patients. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We present the case of a 46-year-old man with Werner Syndrome and a convexity meningioma. The patient had a 2-year history of paresthesia and paresis in his right leg, which had worsened in recent months. He underwent surgery with Simpson grade II removal, with improvement of the slight paresis and no other neurological defects. The patient then underwent radiotherapy (60 Gy). Histological examination revealed an atypical meningioma. Cytogenetic analysis showed a hypodiploid clone with a complex karyotype characterized by monosomy 22 and deletion 1p. After 3 years' follow-up no relapses had occurred. CONCLUSION 1p deletion correlates with meningioma progression and in this case correlates with histological examination. The chromosomal instability underlying Werner Syndrome could have fostered the complex karyotype.
