Abstract

A case of multiple bone metastases from an angioblastic meningioma (intracranial hemangiopericytoma) is reported. From the clinical and pathologic point of view, it is essential to be aware that the hemangiopericytic variant of meningioma (angioblastic meningioma) displays a significantly higher rate of recurrence and extracranial metastasis than other forms of meningioma.
