Abstract
We report a case of adjacent intracranial tumours: malignant fibrous histio cytoma (MFH) and meningioma. Thallium-201 single-photon emission computed t omography demonstrated different thallium kinetics between the tumours (slo w washout from the MFH and rapid clearance in the meningioma) and could be said to have been useful for preoperative histological estimation.
