Abstract:Rhabdoid meningioma is a rare subtype of meningioma’s accounting for 1-3% of all intracranial meningioma’s and classified as WHO Grade III tumor. It has an aggressive course and needs to be treated by both surgery and radiotherapy. It has been suggested that rhabdoid morphology is associated with a poor prognosis.

Ultra structurally, the latter consisted of whorls of intermediate filaments often entrapping lysosomes or other organelles.We report a case of 60 year female operated by left temporo parietal craniotomy for meningioma histopathologically reported as meningioma with rhabdoid differentiation (WHO GRADE2).Patient managed by regular follow up with MRI brain scan.
