Description

We present a 43-year-old woman with a tumour within the left lateral ventricle with the typical appearances of meningioma on MRI. 1H MR spectroscopy demonstrated an increased choline peak, suggesting a malignant form of meningioma. Histologically a haemangiopericytoma was found, an exceptionally rare tumour at this site. (orig.)
