Abstract:
The authors present a case of malignant cystic meningioma in the left frontal convexity. The patient was 80-year-old male and presented with personality change and walking difficulty. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance image demonstrated a round mass attached to the left frontal convexity dura. Intratumoral and peritumoral cystic lesions were also seen. Total removal of tumor was performed and the histological dia-gnosis was anaplastic meningioma.
