Abstract
A 9-year-old female presented with a hemangiopericytoma in the occipit al part of the calvarium. Three years after radical surgery a CT scan revealed recurrent tumor infiltrating the confluent sinus. A second su rgical intervention was followed by radiotherapy. For more than 12 yea rs no further recurrence or extracranial metastases were discovered. A s far as we know, this is the first report of a meningeal hemangioperi cytoma in childhood.
