ABSTRACT
Meningeal haemangiopericytomas are more aggressive than typical meningiomas, with a high rate of recurrence and distant metastasis. We report a case of recurrent meningeal haemangiopericytoma associated with hepatic and thoracic metastasis. Although local growth control of the meningeal tumour was obtained by tumor removal in a 33-year-old woman, the tumour was locally recurrent and metastasised extracranially within a period of 13 years. We emphasise the importance of complete removal at the first operation and subsequent radiation therapy to prolong the time to recurrence and extend survival
