Abstract

Meningioangiomatosis is a rare histologically distinct abnormality that is occasionally associated with intracranial meningioma. The rhabdoid variant of meningioma is also uncommon and is classified as a World Health Organization Grade III tumour. We report a case of meningioangiomatosis in conjunction with a meningioma with prominent rhabdoid features, in an infant male who underwent complete surgical resection of the lesion. The patient has been followed up for 6 years with no disease recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature describing meningioangiomatosis combined with a meningioma with rhabdoid features.
