Abstract

A 9-year-old boy presented with a meningioma containing a large cyst. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated tumor cells in the solid part of the tumor, part of the cyst wall, and cyst septum. The presence of the tumor cells in the thin cyst wall or the cyst septum is important to recognize preoperatively, and MR imaging is very useful to differentiate intratumoral cysts from peritumoral cysts in meningiomas.
