Meningeal hemangiopericytoma in childhood

Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (MI-IP) is extremely rare in childhood. Mean a ge at diagnosis is between 38 and 43 years. We present an 8-year-old boy wi th MHP of the middle cranial fossa. Imaging findings were indistinguishable from an aggressive bone tumor such as Ewing's sarcoma. Imaging findings ar e presented and discussed. Our case indicates that MHP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skull-base tumors despite the fact that M HP is extremely rare in childhood.
