Abstract

A 69-year-old female presented with a rare intracranial meningeal malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). The neuroimaging appearance of this tumor was very similar to parasagittal meningioma. The tumor was grossly totally removed, and local irradiation of 50 Gy was performed. The histological diagnosis was MFH. The patient recovered from the preoperative deficits, and no recurrence was observed by 27 months after surgery.
