Abstract

Papillary meningioma is an extremely rare malignant lesion with high degree of invasiveness, high recurrence rate, and perivascular pseudopapillary structure. The incidence of cystic degeneration in papillary meningiomas is relatively low, and cystic papillary meningiomas growing in the ventricle are even rarer. Here, we present a case of cystic meningioma and review the literature to propose the diagnosis, treatment, immunohistochemical features, and prognosis of the same.
