| Summary: | Cystic meningioma is a rare form of intracranial meningioma. Meningiomas are typically
solid tumors but may rarely have cystic components. The diagnosis of cystic meningioma is clinically
challenging as the finding of multiple intra-axial tumors, including metastatic tumors, is relatively
common. We report a case of cystic meningioma initially diagnosed as a metastatic tumor from a
recurrence of acute lymphoid leukemia. However, postoperative histopathological examination
demonstrated an atypical meningioma. |
