ABSTRACT
Meningeal hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor with an uncommon location in the central nervous system. We report a case with multiple brain recurrences and bone metastases. A better tumor control was obtained with the combination of surgery, radiotherapy, radiosurgery and chemotherapy. Despite the tumor native tendency to recur several times, the treatments were effective, offering a long and comfortable survival.
