Abstract

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