Excerpt

Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is a histological subtype of meningioma, associated with aggressive behaviour, characterized by patches or sheets of rhabdoid cells [2, 3, 4], similar to renal and extra-renal rhabdoid tumours [1, 7] and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT) [6]. A RM with expression of desmin in the tentorium of a 12-year-old female, is described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in a Turner syndrome patient. …
