Abstract
- Meningeal sarcoma is rare and its clinical course tends to be short. It is a malignant neoplasm arising from connective tissue elements present in meninges. We have experienced a case of 4 years old female patient with headache, palpable mass on left parieto-occipital area. The operation revealed entirely extradurally located, firm, vascular tumor and almost total excision was done. It was histopathologically diagnosed meningeal sarcoma but indisinguishable from malignant meningioma.
