ABSTRACT
A 29-year-old man was operated on for an intracranial tumour with the gross features of a meningioma. Histology showed features of a rhabdoid tumour. The tumour recurred in 1997, 17 months after the first operation, and was re-excised and showed identical histology. Meningiomas with rhabdoid change are very rare. The clinicopathologic features are presented and the differential diagnoses discussed.
