Meningioma associated with a large cyst.
The case of an adult patient with a small frontoparietal convexity meningioma surrounded by a huge cyst is reported. The cyst fluid had a very high protein content, but there was no distinct cyst wall. Knowledge of the radiological features of this rare condition may prevent confusion with a malignant tumour.
