ABSTRACT
The familial occurrence of meningiomas without evidence of neurofibramatosis was very rare. Recently, we experienced a family in which a mother and a daughter had histologically similar tumors. There was no evidence of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis in either of the subjects or in other members of their family who were examined. The evidence to support heritability of meningiomas in the general population remains inconclusive, by gentic factors contribute to the etiology of meningiomas in isolated families.
