“…The ratio of male‐to‐female incidence is 40:35, and the age distribution ranges from 2 to 84 years in previous reports with detailed data. To date 110 cases of RM in 40 articles have been reported . The most common locations were convexity (25 of 74), anterior or middle cranial fossa (10 of 74), posterior cranial fossa (13 of 74) and falx or parasagittal sinus (16 of 74).…”

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors. They are usually benign and slowly growing; however, they may show histologically malignant features categorizing them into grade II or III of World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is an uncommon meningioma variant categorized as WHO grade III. The clinical course of RM is determined by local recurrences, invasion of adjacent brain and/or dura, widespread leptomeningeal dissemination, remote metastases and fatal clinical outcome. Herein we report a case with recurrent aggressive left occipital parasagittal region RM in which the patient initially declined radiation treatment. The tumor was resected four times in 5 years. Histopathological examination revealed a rhabdoid meningioma with metaplastic, papillary and chordoid differentiation. Six months after her fourth operation the patient died of progressive disease. RM is a rare subtype of malignant meningioma and the role of different adjuvant therapeutic options are still unknown. Clinical presentation, radiological features and pathologic findings of this uncommon tumor are discussed.

Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is a relatively new, rare, and aggressive subtype of meningioma, classified as Grade III malignancy in 2000, 2007 versions of WHO classification of the central nervous system. We reviewed the data available from all published cases of RMs. To the best of our knowledge, there are more than 100 published cases of RMs; none have documented extensive calcification or origin from the cranio cervical junction. We report the first case of a totally calcified (stony mass), primary RM, at the cranio cervical junction. Also, we highlighted the role of the transcondylar approach to achieve microscopic total removal of such a challenging lesion. A 37 year old female, allergic to erythromycin, presented with 5 years of progressive right upper extremity numbness and weakness, right facial numbness, and occipital pain. Imaging demonstrated a large calcified mass at the right posterior–lateral margin of the cranio cervical junction, encasing the right vertebral artery and right PICA loop. Patient underwent microscopic total resection of the lesion. Pathological diagnosis was confirmed as RM with atypical features. Subsequently, the patient received postoperative intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on the tumor bed, and close follow up imaging showed no recurrence 2 years after surgery. We report the first case of a primary RM originating from the cranial cervical junction; also, it is the first case to present with extensive calcification in this morphological subtype. We also conclude that RM has now become a feature of newly diagnosed cases and not only a disease of recurrent cases as it was thought in the past. Since RMs are typically considered aggressive, total surgical resection with close follow up and postoperative adjuvant radiation should be considered. However, the adjuvant therapy of each separate case of RM should be tailored according to its particular histopathologic profile.

“…Radiological presentations are highly variable, and there have been reports of rhabdoid meningioma presenting as a cystic lesion 6 and as intraventricular tumour. 5 There are no sensitive radiological features to distinguish this variant from other types of meningioma. Several patients have demonstrated leptomeningeal spread; however, these have been in the context of an identifiable mass lesion.…”

“…[2][3][4] In previous case series, death has, on average, occurred at 3.1 years post diagnosis of rhabdoid changes, 2 though there are multiple cases where the patient has succumbed within months. 5 The clinical syndrome is in keeping with a space-occupying lesion and thus is dependent on site. Radiological presentations are highly variable, and there have been reports of rhabdoid meningioma presenting as a cystic lesion 6 and as intraventricular tumour.…”
